My temps are not worrying. I did OC to 4ghz so it idles around 20 to 24 celsius. While playing games ill say under 43 celsius.

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-960-vs-AMD-R9-380X/3165vs3532 Yep 380X for sure, but not all games will favor 380X because of Nvidia's "special" drivers. Their drivers enough help AMD GPUs loose some performance. You can go for 380X regardless but im just putting it out there.

O yh, due to Nvidia's monopolizing method many games run well for nvidia because of their drivers. It does make AMD gpus get slight stumbles when running.

Well I understand 380X performance might be a bit better, but the margin is not that big. You have a GTX 960 already you might as well wait for nxt gen before upgrading, if you go for 380X now the performance difference compared to your 960 will hardly be worth paying over 200£/$ And its true...

Yakuba your advice is good but here is what I did.... I mounted two 120mm fans, I litteraly got double sided sticky foam tape (square cut) and they hold up in the front no worries.

oh kool yh go with one 8gb stick i guess, unless 16gb is really needed....

Get that seasonic 620w m12-II or cooler master VS650 <<< high quality psu's and more power. And slap a gtx 960 or gtx 960.

Yes it runs but just know that PSU is kind of weak in quality, comes under tier 4 so I advice dont OC that CPU with Corsair V650. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html Try aim for at least tier 3 PSUs at least if your not OCing, if you do want to OC then tier two or...

I also want to recommend maybe a 990 or 990fx motherboard to be good options too but they cost a little higher.... Maybe the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 or the Asus M5A99X Evo, so I guess only go for these 990FXs if you want to overclock.

Sorry to say it but I have a feeling that motherboard just is not for the Fx 8350. That LE version of Asus is the weakest out the M5a97s. An Evo would be better off or a gigabyte 970 ud3p those two are the best 970s to handle 8350. My friend had a gtx 970, the M5A97 LE R2.0 and a 8350, it didnt...
