New PC / Upgrade

[Australian-n00b]

Hi All,

I am doing a new PC with some parts from my current Rig.

The only things i am bringing over are my CPU (AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core 3.10 GHZ) Its water cooler ( Corsair Hydro H90) Current Storage (2x WD Greens 2TB and will remain on there raid but on a new board and rebuild of its raid) and Power supply and case.

My CPU has never skipped a beat and Never has had bottle neck in games but with the upgrades i am doing i know the new Mother Board will take the CPU no sweat its just bottle necks with the new hardware i am a little worried about.

 

The upgrades i am going for are as followed

MB: Gigabyte 990FX-Gaming Motherboard
With the MB having a M.2 slot i am going to use it with a Samsung Evo M.2 500GB SSD now this is going to be for the OP system only with local apps

Gaming storage is going on 2x Samsung 850 Pro 500 GB SSD on Raid 1
Video i am going with a Radeon RX 480 Core 8GB
Ram: Corsair Dominator Platinum Series — 32GB DDR3
NOW ISSUE: i know you all are now looking at me and going DDR3 WTF
I have found issues with finding Good MB's for AMD CPU's you can always find Good High Performance Intel boards but never AMD Boards so hence this borad

I also find issues with finding boards with 2x 16x PCI Express Ports not 1 16x and the other 4x as i like to have the options open for later crossfire 480's

Now i would like to know your thoughts on this and some ideas
