Motherboard- ASUS M5A97 R2.0

CPU- AMD FX 8320 Vishera

CPU Cooler- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

GPU- SAPPHIRE DUAL-X 100364BF4L Radeon R9 280X

RAM- Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2X 4GB) (later upgrade to 16GB)

PSU- Corsair Enthusiast Series TX650 650 Watt

Case- NZXT Source 530 Full Tower

I am going with around 1TB Seagate HDD either the Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache or the Seagate SV35 Series ST1000VX000 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache (both are SATA 6) and no SSD (for now, due to budget)

Should I swap out any parts to save money;do I need to buy fans for the case or stick with the ones that come with it


Thank you in advance

I really like this build. Something to think about...can 4 sticks of RAM fit with the Evo? Some mobos have RAM close to CPU such that it's hard to fit 4 sticks of RAM. If so, then you could get low profile RAM. Also, 1866 RAM might be same price as 1600. so why not?

You could save money on the case and get a Corsair 300R for $60. The savings would allow you to get some Corsair AF series fans for $25.

PSU. You could get a XFX 650W for $40/45. Insanely good deal.
