Hi all , new to this community . I am trying to build a solid gaming system . PFB the basic components :
Processor : AMD FX-8350
Motherboard : ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX
SMPS : CORSAIR VS650
RAM : G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB)
CASE : Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-03 Red LED Mid-Tower Gaming Case
Graphics Card : Sapphire Radeon HD 7950
I am not sure whether the graphics card is good compared to the one's in the market .
Are all these compatible ? And can you give modifications to the my configuration so that it can work more effeciently ?
I need to confirm the configuration before starting to buy the components .
Thanks in Advance

If you're just gaming, drop the 8350 to a 6300 and drop the 4 x 4 GB to a 2 x 4 GB kit.
Finally get a better GPU.
The 7970 is approximately a 280 but you'd do better getting a r9 290.
Also, you'd have to buy from retailers.
What is your budget and what games do you play?
What FPS where you hoping for at what settings?
What parts do you need?
I assume you are in the US

R9 290 is too costly to fit into my budget . Can you pick me another GPU ?

Atlast i decided to buy R9 280X from US AMAZON .
Which should i opt for http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-R9280X-DC2T-3GD5-Graphics-Ca... (ASUS MADE) or http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-3GB-Graphics-GV-R9...(GIGABYTE MADE)
It says its 384 bit memory interface ? would it work in my motherboard ?
Will this be compatible with my motherboard and cpu and is my PSU enough to power all these up ?

I wrote this before which may help you out a bit http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2192109/part-com...
Basically though, it's all compatible, however the link to your PSU doesn't work, it instead takes me to your motherboards spec page. VS650 might be a little strained with a 280x, i would recommend looking at a good quality 700-750W PSU just so you're operating in the optimal efficiency range for your power supply

nice PSU
In terms of which 280x to pick, out of those 2 i'd go with the ASUS card, but if you can afford it then maybe you should consider the Sapphire Vapor-X card http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-VAPOR-X-PCI-Express-Grap...

and
Vapor-X is 358$ - http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-VAPOR-X-PCI-Express-Grap...
Or any better gfx card of same price range and better performance ?

Finally , i have decided to go with the below configuration :
AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Asus Radeon R9 280X 3GB DirectCU II Video Card
Corsair SPEC-03 Red ATX Mid Tower Case
SeaSonic M12II 850W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Can i go ahead with this configuration guys ? I am fearful of compatibility issues . That is why double checking with you experts

Do you already have Storage and OS? If not you'd need that. Do you plan on overclocking? If so I'd suggest a G3258 processor (has approximately the same performance in games.)I have storage and OS . No problems with that . Most probably i wont be overclocking . Hence I believe this is the best config i can get .
One final doubt regarding the PSU , is the 850W enough for the given processor,motherboard and GPU ??

Best solution
Yes and you'd probably be fine going for a 750W gold, even if you later decide to 2 way Crossfire, and save a few dollars (over time) too.
Here's what I suggest http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
