this has a cpu cooler (nh u14s) which will aid overclock as the stock cooler wont allow you to overclock more than 4.2 ghz safely but wiyh your motherboard (which is damn good anyway) you can easily go upto 4.5 ghz

The reason I bought 16GB of ram was because I was running a minecraft server from my home. Now that I no longer do that, I just have 16GB of ram laying around, so why not use it?

The reason for going with the 8350 is because of its 8 cores and its 8mb cache. This will help me with more CPU heavy tasks such as editing photos and videos and such.
