Hello guys nice to meet you I just joined and I need your help with a rig I plan on buying.

 

Ok so I am buying from a store in greece and those are the products I am abou to buy:

 

Sapphire R9 290 4GB GDDR5 400euro

Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 850W (CP-9020043-EU) 129euro

AMD FX 8320(AM3+,3,5 GHz,16 Mb) 145.9euro

Corsair DDR3 8GB Dimm 1600MHz Vengeance 89.9euro

MSI 990FXA-GD80 (sAM3+, DDR3, 990 FX) 164.9euro

Corsair Carbide 500R Black Gaming case (Midi Tower, Black) 139.9euro

 

So the store does not have ASUS or ASROCK products, I already have ssd and hdd and screen and keyboard,mouse. 1100euro is all I can give so do you have any suggestions? (You can suggest products and I ll search for em elsewere)

 

Thanks in advance!

 

UPDATE: Ok so I am planning at buying h100i and overclicking 8320, also I chose this psu cause I aam planning of crossfiring 2 r9 290, So will the overclocked 8320 bottleneck my crossfire?

that looks like a solid build. i would sugest a aftermarket cooler though my girlfriends 8350 is fine on stock but it looks so ugly and kinda hot if i didnt have her case loaded with fans

If it isn't too late, I'd call that power supply overpriced and a waste, and not as good as some cheaper units. I'm assuming you're wanting to run CF 290. as that's the only reason you could use 850W, however there are gold efficiency power supplies with better quality components for the same price, such as the Silverstone Strider Plus Gold models, or Coolermaster V850

Current rig: i5 4670K | GTX 670 | Asus Z87I-Pro | Silverstone Strider Plus 600W | Custom mITX case | Seagate Barracuda 3TB | Samsung 840 120GB | G430 | CM Storm Quickfire Pro - MX Red | LG 21.5"

The psu is overkill. A decent 600-650w would be plenty already.

Other than that, get an aftermarket cooler. A Hyper 212 Evo would do. You really shouldn't leave the 8320 at stock.

What's the system being used for?

No, it shouldn't bottleneck.

Thanks for the response, It will be for gaming and mild video rendering!

I'd bump up to a 8350/9590 depending on pricing.

That's about it.
