more than i5 4460 is unnecessary, but yea its a good build, besides the cheapo Corsair PSU

 

All looks good, PSU really makes me cringe a bit though.

Mobo: Gigabyte 970A-DS3P CPU: AMD FX 8350 RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 8gb (2x4gb@1600Mhz) GPU: Gigabyte R9 280x (factory oc) PSU: Thermaltake SmartSE 730w Case: Corsair 200R

I would spend a few dollars more to get this. The CPU is unlocked, though I took out the cooler. I replaced the motherboard with one I think is a slightly better value. I also replaced the PSU with a nicer one.

If you are not over clocking, you should get a h97 board and save yourself some money. I dont understand what is wrong with the psu though..

If you're not overclocking then the stock CPU cooler should do just fine.He could get just a simple H mobo as well and end up with this :

this is nice. The reason why i had a 212 is because i don't want that crappy Intel stock cooler.
