So I've found somewhat of a good deals for PC components in a local store and I've choosen these parts by myself for 1100$.

My only concerns are:
- Are parts compatible?
- Setting wise, what would I expect at 1080p?
- Should I use CPU cooler?

The parts are: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2CjfU

Oh ok then. Don't worry, all parts are compatible. I don't know the prices in Croatia, so I trust you selected the best parts for the price there :p
Since you're not going to overclock much, due to the limitations of your motherboard, a CPU cooler isn't necessary, but it is recommended, because it wil run much quieter...

If you can go for a FX-8320 it will definitely will improve your experience! As for the cooler, yes definitely if you're overclocking (which is pretty easy on this processor)

At 1080p with a single monitor you won't have problems with any modern game!
And as the alarm says, some MoBos may need a BIOS update to work with Vishera processors




8320 can be OC'ed to a 8350 without problems, although if he can find a good offer on 8350 should definitely go for it

I live in Europe, Croatia but I've choosen that site just to show you the parts. I said those parts would cost me about 1100$ in Croatia, in US it would probably be cheaper. Sorry for missunderstanding.
babachicken thank you for your advice but I don't want to change those parts, I just want to see if they are compatible and should I use CPU cooler.
If they are not compatible, then I would probably replace them.

In that case yes, they are compatible, but the motherboard MIGHT need a BIOS update to work with the processor..just to be sure I'd go withthis mobo

As for the cooler, yes if you're overclocking

Since you're not going to overclock much, due to the limitations of your motherboard, a CPU cooler isn't necessary, but it is recommended, because it wil run much quieter and cooler than the stock one. The best out there for the price is the Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO. You could buy it now or check the stock cooler. If it runs too hot and loud, then buy the CPU cooler I referred.

Actually, I've read a ton about that that FX 6300 combo and Asus M5A97 does need a BIOS update but Asus M5A97 r2.0 doesn't. So beside that, I'm glad to hear that they are compatible.

Yes, but it is relatively easy to do a BIOS update

That's true too. I also might consider CM Hyper 212 EVO if they have it in local store. If not, I might order it from somewhere else, but after I get some more money.

They are relatively cheap. In the US it's like $30.
I'm glad to help ^.^
