HI there, Ive just built my first computer and it is as follows;
CM Scout Case with 700w silent pro PSU
Sabertooth 990Fx AM3+ Motherboard
FX 8120 CPU - With stock cooler
Kingston SSDNOW 182GB
Samsung HDD 7200PM 1TB
8 Gb (2x4) Ripjaw 1600 RAM
And a radeon HD 5670 1GB Video Card (from my old system)
I Was wondering would you change or have done anything differently to improve the system?
I know you must get alot of these but a reply would be great thanks! :D

Yeah ive built it, but have some money lefft over so wondering if anything could be added or swapped etc? Oh and if you could recommened a good video card?
 
Sounds like you already bought the parts so its too late now but i would have steered clear of the bulldozer chip and gone with a 2500k based build since a 2500k is only a tiny bit more than that 8120, bulldozer doesn't give enough performance to justify its price, in many tasks a 965 performs quite similarly which is disappointing.

See ive heard that and I thought about it but for some reason I just wanted the bulldozer real bad :L
Also i was wondering the ram im using is on sale for £30 for another 8gb , money isnt really a problem but do you think it would make a difference in the computer?
