I want advice on this build, I want to know is there is anything irrelevant or if there are some better parts that I can add to it:

- AMD A10-7850K 3.7GHz Quad-Core
-Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
-Gigabyte GA-G1.Sniper A88X ATX FM2+
-AMD Performance Edition (2 x 8GB) 1866
-Gigabyte Radeon R7 250 2GB
-Kingston SSD V300 Series 120GB
-Seagate 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM

I would like to hear it all.

The H60 is only about as good as the 212 EVO, and the 7850k is pointless if you're adding a graphics card. Got you a 760,which will do much better

Also got the RAM down, as 16 is overkill. The 8320 and 760 combo will destroy performance wise compared to the 7850k and 250.

This looks quet good, is there and problem I might face with the FX series? on most forums it's been badly criticized.

HiTechObsessed · Jan 23, 2014

The older FX series 81xx, 61xx, 41xx were bad, but the revised ones are much better. Especially when combined with a much more capable GPU like the 760.

If I am to consider the FX wouldn't it be best for me to go for the 8350? and what configuration would be best for a PC that stays on for about 15hours a day.

HiTechObsessed · Jan 23, 2014

The 8320 is the same exact chip as the 8350, just clocked lower out of the box because it is binned lower. The 8350 is already a very overclockable CPU, so the 8320 can (generally speaking) still be overclocked pretty well. To me, it's not worth the extra $50 for the same chip clocked higher, but it may be to you, there would be nothing wrong with getting the 8350.

And either one will be fine for running all day, the CM Hyper 212 EVO is a great cooler, so long as you're not increasing voltage by a stupid amount along with clock speeds. You'll be perfectly fine doing that with these chips.
