Hi, this is the system I hope to start buying today but as I have little experience in putting a system together and I am afraid I might have overlooked something, so I would like to call on the experience and vast knowledge of tom's hardware members to give this the once over for me or if you read this and know a experienced member that can help please ask them to give a look for me, all comments are greatly appreciated thanks. :??:

psu: XFX 750W XXX Edition ProSeries Semi-Modular 80+ Bronze PSU
dvd: Samsung dvd writer 24x
cpu: AMD fx8350 AM3+
cooler: Zalman CNPS8900 Quiet Ultra Quiet Slim CPU Cooler
paste: Arctic Silver 5 thermo paste
mobo: asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0 am3+
ram: patriot pc viper 3 series 2x8gb ddr3-1866 pc3 15000 cl10

i would recommend the AMD Fx 8320 it is the same CPU but it just performs better with stock cpu at higher clock
unless your future proofing for upgrades in the future (like SLI) i would get a cheaper Motherboard i would recommend

(http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000OGX5AM/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

it is highly recommended Heatsink past that i use and my cpu dont get higher than 45 even at all 8cores at full load

Psu i would change this this corsair 750watt gold psu 80plus semi modular,

(http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GMIPO46/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

performance is very good on voltages also if you over clock and runs cool depending on your case setup :D

I would buy a cheaper motherboard .
Probably http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a99fxpror20
performance will be exactly the same and you will lose very little overclocking potential , but save $50

The TX3 cooler is tiny . Use a Hyper 212 as a minimum . And maybe something more awesome like an NZXT Havik

arctic silver is a scam . Its doesnt perform any better than the paste that will ship with your cooler .

Hi thanks for your reply, i am in Ireland and all the sites seem to have that board more expensive than what i can get the 990fx for €144.95 and m5a99 fx pro €143.95 and upwards, also the hyper 212 will fit my case but i cant install a side 120mm with it as i think i only have 150mm of space with out the fan installed and around 125mm with fan installed so is there a good cpu cooler around 120mm so that i can install the side case fan, other than that does the rest of the system look ok thanks.

Hi there is only €25 in the price between the 8320-8350 cpu so i will prob stick with 8350, also the psu in the list is a psu i have at home already so i will this for the time being and if any prob's arise i will change it for corsair and you do think i should use artic silver 5 thermo paste thanks

yes use the paste unless you got some laying around but if its a cheap unbranded psu it can go bang and could damage components but other than that build would later you some years at high graphics :D

hi this is the psu I have (XFX 750W XXX Edition ProSeries Semi-Modular 80+ Bronze PSU) and is new still in box and seems to be rated fairly good, it should hardly go bang and take components with it???? I hope not. here is link https://www.dabs.ie/products/xfx-750w-xxx-edition-proseries-semi-modular-80--bronze-psu-8K0T.html?src=15 and specs are there have a look and let me know a small bit worried thanks:ouch:
