How have you made this build? Some really bad choices on components including a non-camptible motherboard and processor. If you made this build yourself, try to take your time and learn more about PC components and building a good performance/durable system first.

Good build from Joseph, all I would change is the case. There are much better options at 80 dollars.

A build aimed at the same price of OP's original price point:

No motherboard worse and lower in price than the 990AX-UD3 is worth it with this processor. They are bad.

All you have to do is drop from FX-8350 to FX-8320. It is the same processor but 0.5 Ghz lower clocked. Just overclock for the same and better performance.
