Hello Guys

so it's time for me to build a new PC (my first from scratch actually), my PC is getting old now ~5years so can't quiet handle the new games on max settings anymore :) anyway i've been looking around alot on Google and Tom's for an answer to my question, i've come up with a build but not quiet sure about what CPU and GPU combo is required and if it's overkill.. but i've come up with this build

CPU: AMD FX-8350
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Motherboard: ASRock 990FX Extreme3
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x 4GB - DDR3 - 1600 MHz
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC
SSD: Corsair Neutron Series 256GB (should be okay, i don't store a lot on my computer)
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 300R
Coolers: Corsair Air Series 120 Performance Edition 120MM Fan 2-pack
PSU: I got a brand new 850W Corsair (TX850 i think) in my current PC because my old died, so i assume i can use this one in my new PC and save the money

2nd option is:
CPU: AMD FX-6300
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC

but i've read so many different opinions on this CPU and GPU combination and i don't want to waste money on a FX-6300 if the performance will be noticeable

thanks in advance :) sorry about no links to the components

you totally lost me there, everything that is conncected to my mobo is a 8pin to the cpu and a 24pin the big one, i don't get that splitting part :p

edit: just checked the MSI Z87-G45 GAMING only need a 8pin and a 24pin, i don't know what you are talking about?

edit 2: gotta go now, let's take it tomorrow, because i don't know what you mean :)
