I want to stick with AMD FX .rest looks really good on that list but some of them I am not able to find.
Whats your suggestion for a CPU Cooler

The CM Evo 212 you picked is a very nice CPU cooler.
If you're willing to spend way more go a something like the Noctua NH-D14/15 or even cloosed loop water cooling like the NZXT Kraken x61 but i would only suggest these too if you got money to spare and plan on heavy OCing.
Otherwise the Evo 212 does a good job and you're totally fine with it. :)

you want to spend 1300 $ for a gaming pc with amd cpu ????????? :heink:
amd cpu is for people with 500 or 600 $ budget
come on man
get intel cpu if you want a gaming pc to last you 5 years

Thanks for your suggestion but those are way too pricey (150 cad:( ) ,but how do you reckon the heat generated by R9 380
and the rest of the hardware and CM Evo's cooling capability

My Previous AMD served me well for 4 years , I dont see any reason to change to Intel
btw AMD FX 9370 is a octa core processor and very powerful .you cant change my loyalty .lol :)
What is your suggestion on Motherboard and SMPS and others

Expect for the fact that games dont care about octa core CPUs but the actual performance of the cores.
Look up some benchmarks and you'll see that Intel got at least the first 10 places on any CPU ranking list
