here is full setup

Thanks alot guys,

Yup should be enough :)

[Quaker]

Yes, that cooler will work fine. Watch out for clearance issues with RAMs that have tall heat spreaders. (The Hyper 212 EVO is one of the best air coolers in spite of it's relatively low price.)

 

For a "little bit" of overclocking you could also consider the new Hyper T4 or even a Hyper TX3, which are smaller and cost less.

[tabuburn]

Yes. That's the standard for low-cost performance cooler.

 

You can also go with this for a more silent one but it costs about $13 more. Both perform nearly the same.

Yes. That cooler will be fine for little overclocking. The ram that you are going to buy has to be under 37mm if you plan on putting a fan on the ram side.

so much money wasted on the mainboard. the cpu cooler is ok but nothing special.

 

i would go with

One of the greatest under $40 coolers money can buy IMO

[XiaoPigs]

You're all set to go with that CPU cooler :) Best budget cooler out there and there are many reviews to back it up

[GPUXPert]

Get an FX 8320 and spend more on the cooling, the FX 8320 CPUs overclock just as well as the FX 8350s & are cheaper.

It's a very good cooler given it's value. If you can find it, there's its sibling the 212 Plus which is near identical performance (reportedly within a degree) and it costs about $10 less.

 

Bit off topic but I wonder how the 212 Evo stacks up against the new 212X.

[Nit3Rid3R]

Yeah, it's a good cooler for the price you pay, I see so many people buying that cooler.

Can't find any reviews for it, should run cooler though as the fin stack seems beefier to me.

Ram is to high, i would buy the low profile version. I would just buy a normalfull featured board

 

Ram: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cml8gx3m2a1600c9

Board: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga990fxaud3

Than i would buy a 7950 instead of a 7970. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr795wf33gd

 

the rest of the money would make a nice ssd! :D

im gunna stay with the 7970, switched my ram to the one you suggested, how good is the board you suggest? and how much the does board actually do for performance?

[Guest]

Apothem i would still Recommend you the ASUS RoG Motherboard

from really cheap to ~140$ there is a difference in overclocks. but everthing at 200$+ may make a difference if you plan to watercool or more(and even than we are talking 100Mhz more or less)...there is really no upside whats so ever to buy such a expensive board if you don't use the extreme overbuild power delivery on it

 

And if you don't want to overclock there isn't any difference between a 60$ board and a 250$ board

If you don't plan on going SLI/Crossfire, I would go with the Asus M5A97 R2.0. This is able to run a single GPU at 16x.

this one has 16x for gpu as well though correct?

Yes putting a single gpu on this motherboard will give you 16x.
