In the process of buying parts for my first build. Just wondering what you guys think of my setup. I'll be using it for some gaming and engineering programs.
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz

Cooler: Enermax ETS-T40-W 105.9 CFM

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 02G-P4-3769-KB
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Storage:Sandisk ReadyCache 32GB 2.5" Solid State Disk

Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal

Case: NZXT Phantom (White) ATX Full

PSU: Rosewill Green 530W 80+ Certified ATX
 
Solution
I would suggest getting an intel i5 4670k instead of that AMD card. Although the AMD may seem superior because the clock rate is higher, the intel will perform much better. Also, I'd get a seasonic PSU instead of that one. Probably an M12 II.
