Hello,
I am buying a new computer. I have finalized the configuration. Please check and tell me if it is correct.
I have read in a thread that Sabertooth 990FX R 2.0 needs a bios update for using FX-8350. If I buy the latest motherboard manufactured in 2014 do I need a bios update?

processor : FX-8350
motherboard : Sabertooth 990FX R 2.0
ram : 8 or 16 gb ddr3
gpu : nvidia gtx 650 2gb ddr5
hdd : 1tb
dvd : dvd writer
psu : corsair 750W
cabinet : cool master cabinet
wifi, bluetooth

Does Sabertooth 990FX R 2.0 support 2gb ddr5?
Does Sabertooth 990FX R 2.0 support windows xp sp3?
Does this support up to 32 gb ram?
Does FX-8350 run just out of the box with Sabertooth 990FX R 2.0 or do I have to update the motherboard BIOS?
After assembling the hardware, when i start the cpu, does the bios start screen show FX-8350 32ghz or just FX-8350 4ghz 8-core?
Advise me on air / liquid cooling
I will be using it for 3D, video editing, game creation with udk, cry3.
This is the maximum budget i can spend and i do not want to have any hardware conflicts. Also, I am emptying my purse upon this, so later I cannot make any hardware changes. Hence, I must be perfectly sure that this is correct configuration and it works

Thanks in advance.

ur gpu is little week
yes ur mobo is compatible with gtx 650
more ram would b of good potential for heavy application
better go with a good psu xfx seasonic
here with gtx 650
450w should b enough
if ocing i would suggest a 550w psu
for air cooling hyper 212evo is cheap and good

How do we calculate psu wattage . is it by calculating all components like processor wattage + gpu wattage + ..... or just the component with highest wattage?
