Hi all, so my i5-2500k burned, dont ask i fixed cooling. Im planning on getting cpu: cpu: AMD FX-6300 AM3 (No aio shield)
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Pro3
Ram : DDR3 12gb 1333MHz
Cpu cooler: Thermaltake Contac 21

Gpu: gtx 560

Storage 180gb ssd

 

So im usually playng games like LoL and tf2, program and make presentations

Will this be good?  Is the cpu good? 3.5ghz - 4.1ghz 6 cores

 

P.s. is the aio shield removed for the cooling or smth?

You really shouldn't buy fx series CPUs now that much better ones have been released.
