The motherboard is a bit low end cand could have overheating issues with that CPU at stock clocks.

You really want a 970 chipset board for that CPU. 990 chipset if you want to do some real overclocking.

I would get a 120gb SSD and a 1tb HDD. Much better use of money.

What PSU?

Not to mention that you are probably overpaying for the fx6350 over the fx6300. Also, their are better video cards out there than the 750ti for less money.

I have a crap corsair cx 500 and that CPU will be fine with that board i did a bunch of research some people have success overclocking on that board believe it or not and i got a deal on the 6350 for 110 dollars pretty much the same price as the 6300 so i figured why not. Swordkd what card would you recommend then i know nothing about AMD cards and im pretty sure thats about the best nvidia card i can get for around 160 dollars.

Well if you got a deal then I see no reason to NOT get the fx6350 then. The Radeon 260x offers similar performance for less money. Read up on the Tom's best graphics cards for the money article for May. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-car...
