Hello my PC is kinda slow now but im going tu buy some components and I need your help to see if they are a good match.

My PC specs right now:
CPU = Intel Core Quad Q9300 2.50GHz
Graphic card = AMD HD 7870 GHz Edition
RAM = 4 GB DDR2
Mother board = Asus P5KPL/1600

My Future PC specs:
CPU = AMD FX 8350 4.0GHz
same graphic card (I just bought that 3 months ago, I'm not going to change it)
RAM = 8 GB DDR3
Mother board = Asrock Extreme4 970

Any help? Thanks!
 
The parts you have picked are decent parts, personally if I was going to build a new rig I would go with an Intel build but that's just preference. Also before you buy these parts have you checked that they are all compatible with each other and you are not going to be bottle necking any of your hardware.
just as an fyi I would suggest going with an aftermarket cpu cooler maybe a cooler master hyper 212 evo if it fits in your case so u can overclock it if you can but also just improve temps

Hope this helps you a little mate :)
 


Please supply a budget for the new parts and entire system specs along with which parts need to be replaced. We can then make suggested part lists.

Thank you for your answers my budget is actually between 300-350 euros or 355-420$ USD
 


I don't think I will overclock it, because i think the FX 8350 will bottleneck the HD 7870 so It's nor worth the OC I dont really care about noise but maybe If i have some extra money I will buy a cooler
