    You can right click on the 'Downloads' folder (and other media folers) if you want to and move them to your HDD to also save space on your SSD.

    It's a 3 way adapter from molex to 5v, 9v and 12v. Connected to an 4x 3pin fancable.

    Yes I am a gamer, however I was looking for some nice red coloured ram, and the price difference between 2133ghz and 1600ghz was just €10.
     
     
    Yeah it's an AIO water cooler. I figured it would run a lot quieter then an air cooler but honestly have no idea. The 2TB HDD might indeed be too much.
     
    I was mainly hoping for someone to know if the 4670K would have a big advantage over the 4590 in PlanetSide 2. The game isn't terribly well optimized and does require quite some CPU horsepower as far as I know. (On my Athlon 760K I ran at 30fps most of the time)

    Yes you can. But make sure the cables don't touch anything. Maybe use some tape to isolate them.

    I'm a freelance dev taking in Outsourced jobs. Some of these monsters were gift's from companies I work for like the 5960x. My income is pretty much spent funding my own college education with the occasional allowance from my parents. I get a huge amount of pay for each job (around $3-5,000) but each job llikely takes about 2-3months so it's pretty much unreliable ATM.
     
    edit:
    You will definitely benefit from an SSD faster boot times and faster loading on games

    People think they are getting a good deal when they buy an FX for gaming, and they are not.
     
    If you enjoy games like MMOs(ArcheAge, WoW, Guild Wars2, World of Tanks, Planetside2 etc..) DayZ, ARMA2, ARMA3, Dead Rising 3, Indies, RTS, Emulators, etc.. the FX will fall WAY behind the equally priced Intel processors, and in some instances, become unplayable unless you are fine with 15-20fps when the action starts.
     
    Then there are other games that are playable, but no where near as fluid as they would be on Intel because minimum framerates(which are the most important), drop much more significantly with FX processors.  A few examples are: Starcraft, Skyrim, Civilization V, Assassin's Creed, etc..
     
    Then there are a lot of games where the FX will perform similar to Intel, provided you're using a 60Hz Monitor and don't see the bottleneck happening.
     
    For the majority of games, the FX will be fine.  But why would you want to spend more or the same amount of money on an old, and inferior product, when you can get a new and superior product for the same amount of money.  Why play 4 out of 5 games well, when you can play 5 out of 5 games well, with no bottlenecking, lower energy costs, and future upgrade paths.  That is what Intel provides.  You will see below that even the less expensive Intel i3 is outperforming the FX8s in many games, and the locked i5 is running away with it.
     
    I always advocate the right tool for the job, and for some jobs, the FX processor is the best tool for the job, but you need to be aware of what your priorities are when building your machine.  If your priority is gaming, then Intel is the clear winner regardless of price point. I don't hate AMD, and I have experience with both processors, and have owned both Intel and AMD.
    My goal here is to help others by avoiding costly mistakes that so many before them have made.  I see so many users on this forum complaining about their gaming experience with FX processors that it is time to put a stop to it, and the best way to do that is nip it in the bud and recommend the correct tool for the job.
     
    The most common problems are unsatisfactory results in certain games, VRM throttling, and GPU bottlenecking.  In my links below I will show you many different, yet conclusive results compiled from respected hardware reviewers and other members of this forum.  I hope to paint a picture as to why the FX processor is the inferior option and why it is a bad choice for a gaming machine.
