Hi everybody,
First I apologize if this ended up in the wrong forum. I was lost when knowing how to properly tag this......
So I figured that the best way would be to list all of my components, and list my pros and cons. I guess my cons are my questions about the respective component. Just please look over my list and tell me if there is something better or something I am doing wrong. Thank you so much in advance. I really appreciate any help. I should say that I hope to do serious gaming and hardcore video rendering on this new rig.
CPU: FX 9590, Pros, I like how it is already factory overclocked so I don't have to do anything. Is there a warranty? Does user end overclocking in-validate it?(CPU)
Cons: Is there any? Besides the fact that I am paying for the overclock and warranty compared to the fx 8350? Though this cpu does draw losts of power and heat.
GPU: Crossifre of (R9 290x Saphire tri-X. or XFX). Pros: They both have great cooling and sound compared to the refrence design. Cheaper than most other 290x brands adm great prices all across the board. ( I should also mention that I have steered away from Nvidia due to there high prices. Though the Titan black or the 780ti look nice.) Cons: Are there any????
PSU: Evga 1300 g2 super nova. Pros: Powerful psu. Great price! Gold certified.
Cons: Do I need this much power? Would the 1000 watt version work?
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250gb. "already purchased"
Motherboard: Gigabyte 990fxa-ud7: lots of pci slots! Beefy motherboard. Cons: Are there any?
Ram: 16 gb corsair. "already purchased"
Case: Coolermaster stryker haf white edition. "already purchased"
CPC cooling: This is where I need help. Any suggestions??????
Have lots of case fans.... have fan controller....Anything I am missing?????
Thank-you so much in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Gigabyte 990fxa-ud7 (rev. 3.0) original 'BIOS' version (*ver. FB) only offers native support up to an FX-8350 (*ie the version of the 'board's UEFI in its read-only BIOS chip).
As well, the 990fxa-ud7 (rev. 3.0) is an E-ATX (oversized) motherboard.

In contrast, the ATX-sized GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev. 4.0) original 'BIOS' version (ver. F1) offers native support for the FX-9590:

With Gigabyte's dual-BIOS system (two BIOS chips soldered to the motherboard, one update-able, the other read-only) if a BIOS update get corrupted then the motherboard can be induced to boot into its read-only backup BIOS chip which will then overwrite the corrupted update-able BIOS chip--IF the 'board is equipped with a processor model which the version of the UEFI in the backup BIOS chip natively supports.
Currently, the GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev. 4.0) is the only AM3+ Gigabyte motherboard which natively supports the FX-9590.
