Hello Everyone! Second question:

Is this system any good? I have already built it, so i can't change much. :(

CPU: AMD FX-8320 With stock cooler
MOBO: MSI 970A-G43 Socket AM3+
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 520 (Planning to upgrade very soon)
PSU: 500W Cooler Master
RAM: 8 GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1600 mHz
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB
Case: Diablotek EVO ATX


This system runs very well, and plays all of my games with little or no lag on high settings. Of course, I only play games that I like, which aren't graphic intensive at all. The most GPU intensive game I will be playing is Mirror's Edge.

Thank you all,
Spencer

Yeah, everything you have there is great. I would have said upgrade your GPU but don't go crazy since you aren't playing games like BF4 or Crysis but you already plan on upgrading.

CPU > Change the stock cooler if you want to overclock, this one is the bang for the buck, you can get it cheaper though
