Ive been planning on getting this for a while: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2gqG2

 

But a friend has told me i can get this for the same price and its better, i noticed the motherboard was quite a lot cheaper and wasnt sure if that would be okay for overclocking: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2gveT

 

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

The one your friend told you is much better. And the board is good for overclocking. Your build didn't have a motherboard, so that could be an issue.

What is the difference between the 990fxa and the 990xa?
