I am most happy with this. I will use it for CAD, editing, gameplay on youtube, maybe twitch and of course gaming.  I have ordered all the parts today, and they should be coming in in a couple of weeks. Pictures will be coming (good pictures, will be taken with a Canon 60D). I had a budget of $500 and I think I did it justice.

 

AMD FX-6300 - $110

MSI 7870 GHz - $120

ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 - $45

Fractal Design Core 1000 - $40

Corsair CX600 - $30

1TB WD Blue - $60

Corsair Vengeance LP 1x8GB - $45

ASUS DVD RW - $20

But wait!

Now the discount appears again on newegg!

Even if it costs a few dollars to cancel it is worth it imo.

Cant. Its already on route. I will get a 8520 and a new motherboard eventually. Its fine for now.

The original list is fine as is if the OP doesn't care about rebates.

Update:

Everything is installed, running like a charm and you will have pictures soon. Just admire this screenshot in the meantime.

please?

 

Bad bad bad idea. He has the only MATX board capable of running an FX and it has no VRM cooling. TBH I would be amazed if he can even hold stock clocks on that board without it throttling, let alone a FX 8.

 

Sadly there just aren't any AM3+ MATX boards capable of running a FX 8. Not even at stock, due to the fact they have absolutely no mosfet cooling.

 

It's basically because none of these boards were originally designed for FX, more the Phenom 2 which had a much lower TDP. What's a real shame is that with decent VRM cooling a 4+2 board can actually piss with the big boys. I've got an Asus M5A97 running a 8320 @ 4,3ghz, but only because Asus bothered to fit half decent mosfet cooling (see pic in link).

 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/M5A97-R2-0-Motherboard-PCI-Express-Flashback/dp/B008RPYB0U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388275047&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+m5a97

 

And see pic of his board.

So this time around the FX 8 should be avoided, unless he wants to mod his board.

Area 51 2014. Intel 5820k@ 4.4ghz. MSI X99.16gb Quad channel ram. AMD Fury X.Asus RAIDR.OCZ ARC 480gb SSD. Velociraptor 600gb. 2tb WD.
