its a 35$ heat sink that is much better than the stock heat sink that comes with the FX-8120

I would aoid the rosewill challenger . It won an award from Tomshardware for being cheap , not for being good

Alternates at $50 would be the Antec ONE

This graphics card
APPHIRE Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB $115
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102967

Is newer , a lot cheaper and performs much the same in DX 11 games

It would also let you drop the power supply to the CX 430 which is only $35

The money you save on the graphics card can be used to upgrade the mb to a model with front USB 3 headers like the Extreme 4 , or ASUS or Gigabyte models .
Probably the Asrock 970 extreme 4 since that can also crossfire two graphics cards

thanks Outlander_04, and leonardp13, but i was wondering if you could recommend a better graphic card then the APPHIRE Radeon HD 7770 or SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6850, thats less then $160, since I do not plan to crossfire, but ill definitely change the case and look into the a new heat sink.

 

[Outlander_04]

Less than $160 means you can include the 6870 .
They start around $155

Or this nVidia GTX 560 which should perform about the same as the 6870 looks like great value at $130
