GPU and mobo choice is good.

PSU choice is bad, CX 600.

Is the EVGA B2 750w in your price range? You will need it with that processor.

Well my max is 100$ for the psu

Ok thx alot... but about the rest of the questions?i mean like the cpu bottleneck question?

RCFProd · Sep 4, 2015

It will work good with the CPU. Do you have an aftermarket CPU cooler?

johnmanth · Sep 4, 2015

the cpu is one of th most non-worth it cpus!!! with less money get an i5 or an 8320 and overclock it

fx 9xxx series are fx 8xxx series but overclocked from the factory

johnmanth :

thing is he already has the cpu @ read post

The FX-9370, while not the best 'bang-for-buck' will bump up to 5GHz with good air.

And, no. There will be no issues with nottle-becking (The most ridiculous term in computers).

Hey one last question is this pc able to run all games the new and the old ones on 30+fps on high-ultra 1080p?

RCFProd · Sep 4, 2015

Yeah. A lot of games should be close or over 60 fps.

If you buy a good aftermarket CPU cooler and OC the 9370, you will get even better performance.

An FX-9370 ... GTX 970 ... Gigabyte 990FX -UD3 ... I should be so lucky

With a solid PSU you should be a gaming monster. At 1080p you will have no issues. Only thing missing is a second GTX 970! (which would be over-kill at 1080p)

Well thx wisecracker i chose this psu:https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220gs0850v1 tell me is it good?

RCFProd · Sep 6, 2015

It's very good, yes.

Gasser243 · Sep 6, 2015

Thx alot

do u think this pc would stay with me for 2+years without upgrading anything playing games on high-ultra 30+fps?

RCFProd · Sep 6, 2015

Yeah you should be fine for atleast 2 years.
