Hi guys, I need some advice on my build.
Am I bottlenecking something?? I hope not..
Is the ram good for amd??

Specs..
cpu: FX-4100 + Coler Master Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1
mobo: Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3
gpu: Saphire Radeon HD 6850
ram: Kingston Hyperx ( 2x4gig ) KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX
hdd: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB WD5000AAKX
psu: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W
case: Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus RC-431P-KWN2
case fan: Corsair Air Series AF120 Performance Edition

Yes I'll be doing some overclocking and maybe crossfire..

id rather not get fx at all costs

if you are getting amd, get a phenom II x4 965 instead

for the motherboard, just get a asus m5a97 (or so i think thats what its called)

for the graphics card, a 6870 isnt that much more than a 6850 and performs better

for overclocking, a hyper 212 evo is the way to go

for case fan, the stock ones are good enough. performance editions dont have much advantage over quiet editins

oh and one more thing, get the m5a97 evo since it is a bit newer

i believe there is a xfx 6870 selling at newegg for 154.99 after MIR

for the ram, if it is cheaper than kingston, get gskill ares 8gb 1600mhz 2x4gb kit.

thats about it i guess
