Multi-million dollar Cheyenne supercomputer auction ends with $480,085 bid — buyer walked away with 8,064 Intel Xeon Broadwell CPUs, 313TB DDR4-2400 ECC RAM, and some water leaks
Is this pc good or should I change some things?

8 Core Fx Cpu On A 960g Chipset isn't good under heavy loads they tend to throttle the cpu. Get atleast ddr3 1600 with cas of 9 or less.

-Same CPU as before, but now with a motherboard you can OC on.
-Cheaper kit of RAM
-R9 290X. WAY more powerful than the GTX 750Ti.
-Cheaper case (so you can stay under $650 and still get a R9 280X)
As a future upgrade I would get a 7200RPM hard drive OR an SSD, and a aftermarket CPU cooler.

Get a better PSU and motherboard, especially if you're going to be overclocking...
