Hello everyone,
I would like to start off by saying that I am new to the side and em looking forward to getting involved with this great looking community.
Now,
Its been about 13 months since I have been working hard and saving 12$ a week for a gaming computer. It has always been my dream to build one and finally I completed one after all this months and never have I felt so accomplished. Never had enough cash since bills were in the way and my wife and I are expecting our first child so it was out of the question.
Now, by ordering part by part from Ebay, Newegg etc. I completed my first build ever.
Specs.
GPU: GTX 770 nvidia 2gb
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA 78LMT USB3 Rev 5
CPU: FX 8320 black edition
8 GB ram
PSU Antec 650W earthwatts
1TB HDD
For the ATX case I'm using a cheap HP Pavillion micro ATX case I got from craigslist for 10$
I really don't know much about building computer, specs or whats any good but after watching alot of Youtube and Google and of-course Tom'sHardware, I researched enough to come to a conclusion what I would get.
So, I bought this simple heatsink at craigslist

Unfortunately it isn't enough to keep my FX 8320 cool so my dumb self bought the first think that looked good and cheap at Ebay.

So my question is, can anybody tell me anything about this heatsink? Did I do any good? Will it get the job done. I'm really paranoid since am in a budget.
Thanks everyone.
