What is your upgrade budget? General purpose of the computer? It's hard to tell you what I think about the specs as I'm assuming you're planning to upgrade.

What type of gaming are you planning to play? Large online games? Any of the Battlefield games and upcoming titles like Crysis 3, and BF4? Also what is your budget?

I would recommend, if you can squeeze the extra money into a decent GPU.

What's your budget on upgrading so we can see what would be the best route to take?

Well if money is not a problem then upgrade to the FX-8350, get a beefy air cooler like NH-D14 and overclock the living crap out of it and get a 7970.

I'm not sure about that cooler as i have never heard of it before but as long it is able to keep the heat down when your overclocking the CPU then it should be fine.

I am not all that up on AMD CPU, but you definately need to boost that video card to be able to play some of those games as a nice FPS. Like Killerx says, look at the 7000's series line... 7870 or the 7900's... If money isn't an issue. :)

Don't forget Nvidia! A 680 would be perfect and so would a 7970, it is all a matter of personal preference. IF you can wait, get the upcoming 8000 series from AMD.

If you want PhysX, Cuda and 3D then the 680 but apart from that the 680 is pretty much a more expensive card and the 7970 performs better at a lower price.

Here are your options in terms of priority:

1. Get a better GPU

2. Overclock your CPU or just get a better one

3. Get a whole new Core i5 system, if you have the money

Also, don't upgrade to an FX-8350 if you are playing games; no game can use 8 cores.

your right that no games can use 8 cores, but i guess that having a few more could help.

Games may not take advantage of 8 cores but a new CPU would be able to push out more FPS especially games that are CPU dependent.

+1 Agreed

If you are a really serious gamer who is wants all the advantages you can get. A sound card with good 3D positional audio is needed. Such as the new Z-series from Creative.

Well you know if this build does not have any money problems we could probably go on for days about what is best. So OP it might be best to give us a ballpark idea of how much you want to spend and we can go from there. BTW I have heard of that company before and I believe they are up there with the other top brands. That company is German or from that area? I think it hasn't made its way here or at least not paying an arm and a leg for a cooler lol.

I've never felt that a sound card really helped when I wasn't playing music.

It's a bit of a waste of money and power if you have 4 cores that you aren't using. Bulldozer is really only good if you are video rendering and don't want to spend $300 for an i7.

If you aren't on a budget, i would upgrade your CPU, storage (into SSD), and your graphics card. Also a sound card if you want more sound quality.
