Here's the hardware of a pc that my cousin will but soon and he asked me to choose it for him: corsair vengeance ram 16gb, 1600mhz ram, 2x8gb ddr3 ram / seagate barracuda 1tb, 64mb cache, 7200rpm hard drive / Samsung 840 evo, 250gb ssd / gigabyte geforce gtx 770 WINDFORCE video card, 4gb gddr5, 256bit/ Asus 24x DVD burner / cooler master haf 922 case / antec high current gamer (i hesitate between the 620w and 750w, which of these two is the most recommanded for the consumption of the computer?) power supply, modular, 80 plus bronze / amd fx 8350 (i hesitate between the amd fx 9370. Will it be too hot if these is the cooler master hyper 212 evo like cpu cooler and is it enought mature?) / gigabyte ga-990fx3-ud3 motherboard, socket amd3+ (if I use the cpu amd fx 9370, for which bios I will need to upgrade?) / cooler master hyper 212 EVO cpu cooler. Do my pieces are good and compatibles? If also, can can you answer of my hesitations please and if A pièce doesn't match with the others, can I have suggestion of replace the piece(s) who doesn't work with the other(s) ? If all yes, do my computer is good globally or the performances of the pieces are 'proportionnals'? If not all is good, can I have suggestion of pieces to change for that all become good please?

First off, use pcpartpicker.com
It will tell you if you have any incompatibilities and will find you the cheapest price.
It will also provide us with a much neater list of parts then that train-wreck of a list posted above.

The 9000 series AMD cpus are not worth the money at all, buy an i5 if you can afford a 9000 series. THe 8320/8350 are very good bang for buck processors and the 8350 can not be bottlenecked by the highest end graphics card out there.

If this is a gaming only rig you will see no bennifit from 16gb of ram. IF doing video rendering/encoding or any engineering software then by all means get the 16gb.

I would chose an ASUS M5A99FX mobo over the gigabyte.

Hyper 212 evo will be more then enough of a cooler to handle...

I - for one - LOVE reading run-on sentences and paragraphs. It adds excitement to my existance and makes me glad I have sore eyes.

the bits seem to be compatible - you will need to verify the MB/Memory compatibility - as I refuse to look it up.

the PSU - Antec gaming is built by Seasonic - so it is solid from that perspective. 620 will be fine for your setup - unless you choose to add a second GPU - in that case - opt for the 750.

the FX8350 is fine for your gaming efforts - the GPU will take most of the burden. I have this CPU and it is not a bottle neck for my efforts.

Not sure of the bios upgrade need - but if you have issues - the proper approach is to upgrade to the latest non-beta. If problems persist - go Beta.

Fully agree with above folks: use pcparticker both for saving money, and formatting the build better

And +1 to you only need 8 gigs of RAM for gaming. And another +1 for the PSU recommendations by avarice.

Wanted to add that the HAF 922 is a cavernous case, and you shouldn't have any issues gettinga long GPU in there, or it being wide enough to take the CM 212 EVO. You may want to check how far the RAM slots are from the CPU on whatever MoBo you do buy though, and how tall your RAM is: sometimes, the 212 EVO's fan, depending on orientation, can infringe on the space above the RAM slots, causing an issue. Usually its only 2 of the 4 RAM slots, but if you want to run dual channel, you'll need to use 1 of the 2 in both pairs.

I have an intel bias, but I also urge you towards an i5.
