Great Build! Especially for the price.

If you want to do some overclocking woth the 8320, I strongly advise you get a motherboard like the ASRock 990FX Extreme3, though you have one of the best 970 boards around for OC, it is still of por quality when it comes to AMD 8-core CPU OC.

i agree with the asrock and asus fact .
that's a very solid build for the price , though try to get a 270 / 270x , they're better in terms of gaming performance :)
