I'm already going to re-use my 7.5k rpm HDD and 5.4k HDD also my two ram pieces, another question is if these parts should work ALTOGEHTER it's a silly question but I'm not sure if i should try to get these parts if I'm not sure if they could fit together.

they will work together am3 cpus like the 965 x4 work in all am3+ boards within tdp range, only concern is ur getting a lower end video card at least get a 7770 or 650 gtx, both will smoke the 6670 anyday.

Psu is good, any 990fx board is a good choice expect a few but that one is good lol, cpu will be fine for games and overclocking, but could go a little more newer with the fx 6300 for an extra $40. if the 965 was on sale near $80 wouldnt have an issue lol

How many gb of ram do u have?

Best solution

You need new ram

I would get this Phenom II x4 975 and then upgrade when Steamroller comes out later
put ina cheaper but still great case, 2x4gb ram, 650ti and cheaper PSU (made by seasonic for xfx)
