operating system- Microsoft windows 8.1

i was wondering if anyone knew a way in which i could change this build to make it cheaper but keep the same performance.
also i was wondering if i was going overkill with the motherboard as im not overclocking.
the budget currently stands at £617 and im just looking for a way to slightly reduce that.

thanks and i would greatly appreciate any replies. :)
 


haha sorry, i guess i forgot
here it is:http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131851
and i was thinking of using an 8320 instead but i dont think im gonna overclock, i will use an 8320 though

 
Since the 8320 and 8350 are identical a small OC back to 8350 speeds seems reasonable . It will add heat and noise , but no more than the 8350 would . Its stunningly easy using AMDs software

This motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131873
will perform the same . The limitations are that you can not add a second graphics card , and overclocking would not have as much headroom [ which is not important !]
 


i actually looked into over-clocking a little after my reply and i think i might give it a try.
i doubt i'll ever get a 2nd gfx card and if i do i'll get a new mobo anyway. and about the heat thing i was gonna get a hyper t4 cooler anyway so that doesn't matter.

so thanks, im glad i've sorted things out :)

 
I would not bother with coolers unless they were decently large and included a 120 mm fan

The 212 should be the minimum really .

Catalyst control center had an overdrive section . A couple of mouse clicks and the system will start OCing, stress testing for temp rise , and then give you a safe operating range for the cpu .
Stock 8350 speeds seem a good compromise to me
 


ha, so it basically OC's it on its own i'll probably do that then.
also do you think two of the fans i've chosen will keep my sytem cool enough, the case comes with one on the front and one on the back anyway i think there both 120mm.
