Need Help New Computer Radeon HD 6870

[Oreo Slayer]

Wise people,
I have a build I am considering and need your help for power consumption. It is as follows:
PSU: OCZ Game X Stream 700w
Graphics: Radeon HD 6870
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
CPU: AMD FX 8350
HDD: 150GB 7200 RPM

Will this work together? I was running my OCZ power supply with a factory OC 8800 GTS and my computer seemed to clock itself down at times during a load (I don't know if it was a graphics card related issue, but it heated up quite a bit)

Should work fine. The PSU should be more than plenty for the system. You might consider getting a cheaper motherboard and maybe an FX 8320 instead of the FX 8350, and using the savings on getting a better graphics card.

The Radeon HD 6870 is not a bad graphics card at all, but it IS from 2010. I'd shoot for a 7850 at least.

What motherboard would you recommend? I currently own the case, hard drive, power supply and operating system.
I want a decent motherboard that can handle quick RAM, AM3+ CPU socket and the fastest hyper transport capabilities...
Are there any boards out there that can do it for under $100?

Hmm, maybe an Asrock 990FX Extreme3? A little over $100, but at least not nearly $200 like the ASUS Sabertooth.

I went with the Biostar 970 motherboard. It seemed to have 2600 Mhz Hyper transport, a PCI Express 2.0 slot handle 1866Mhz RAM, and support the CPU I wanted.
