Hmm. Do you really need 16GB RAM? 8GB is more than enough in most cases. Also, should have got the FX-8320 instead of the FX-8350. The 8350 is just a factory overclocked 8320 with an inflated price tag. If you'd bought the 8320, you could overclock it to 8350 standards and save money. Intel would have been a wiser option anyway with more upgrade options(depending on what you plan on doing with the PC, of course).

Personally, I'd have done a few things differently but it's not horrible.

love the build, But I have to agree with sanctorum. The 8350 is an Overpriced/Overclocked 8320. But hey still its a really solid processor for the price. Just dont compare it to the 8320. I use the 8350 for work and It does everything I ask for. But My issue is why 16GB of ram? Kinda unnecessary, Unless your going to be using your PC for video editing and rendering. But other than that nice build. But with the new price drops I would of just grabbed a 9370

I got 16gb of RAM because it was like an extra 20 more so it would have been silly not to. Plus I will be running lots of programs at the same time and using a lot of tabs on google for my uni work.

The total price was just over 1100 but i didnt have next day delivery on eveything and the monitor was 233 so if i didnt have to buy that it wouldve been less than 1000
