Not bad. Plan on watercooling it soon? What is your case?

Its pretty good. Get a 970 series motherboard, you don't need a 990 FX / X series as you won't be overclocking very much with the 212 evo.

Get an r9 280x if you can, if not, get an r9 280. Both with outperform the 760, the 280x outperforms the 770.

Still deciding on one tbh.

Nah it's before tax. Anyhow the 970 doesn't really have USB3 on it. It's a build for a friend and I have the 8320 + 212 EVO. I've gotten pretty good OCs with it.

I stand corrected. This one must've slipped through the cracks. Thanks

CAD too my knowledge is not too heavily threaded... so i think a higher ipc chip from intel would perform better in most cases for you.

8320 is not hyper threaded, so it should take advantage of all it a got to offer
