What do you guys think? I'm on a budget of 500 and with all of these components it equates to 500 exactly

CPU: AMD FX8-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8 Core AM3+ 4.0GHz 16MB 125W

GPU: Asus AMD Radeon 7790 HD 1GB PCI-Express 3.0 HDMI Direct CU II OC

Motherboard: Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 DDR3 ATX

RAM: Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 Vengeance Blue Performance Desktop Memory Kit

PSU: EVGA 500W 500B 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply

HDD: WD 1TB Blue SATA 6GB/s 7200RPM 64MB 3.5" Hard Drive

CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 Evo - 3 Heatpipe, Tower CPU Cooler



I already have the case bought its the Zalman Z11 Plus

for gaming, right..?

okay, let's see..

good processor, nice board for overclocker, decent psu, enough memory, but bonaire class 7790 gpu will struggle for today games..

i suggest you to change your option..

take fx6300, and upgrade your graphic card to at least 7870/r270, or if it possible, to 7950/r 280.
then replace your hyper tx3 with coolermaster hyper 212+, because if you want (yes, you will) overclock this cpu to 4.2-4.4Ghz, this cooler can handle the heat..
This combination will much much much faster than fx8350+7790 in gaming...well, maybe 1.5x-2x faster..
