I'll buy:
Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 ( people say is better than GByte...FXUD3 )
AMD FX Series FX-6300

I've yet:
Kingstone HiperX 1333 Mhz CL9 2 x 2GB
Gigabyte HD 5770 <--- 🙂
Corsair H70 water cooling
Corsair 500W 80 Plus Bronze
HDD 500GB x 2 RAID 0

In the future I will replace that 1333 DRAM or try Overclock them.

Thank you very much

Ok, Crossfire descarted !

So and the HD7950 is good option for 130€ , I'm planning to buy it today , or wait for next time for R9 280 ? The performance is similar to 7950, ?

Perfect ! I have bought the 7950 a minute ago for that good price ( Refurbished ) so hope no problem , anyway it has warranty 1 year.

I will try refrigerate my FX6300 with the old H70 , maybe the problem will be the noise 57dB at Load but it's ok for the moment.

About H70
...
Fan air flow: 61 cfm
Maximum power consumption: 3.1W
Nominal noise level: 31.5 dBA - Max 57dBA at 2000rpm
Weight: 1.8 lbs (820 g)

Conclusions from year 2011 [ http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/printpage/Corsair-H70-CPU-Water-Cooler-Review/1168 ]

The Corsair H70 watercooler did what we expected from it: it overperformed all the air coolers we tested to date.
However, cooling performance is not the only feature one looks when thinking about spending money buying a liquid cooling system. Good watercoolers must offer both performance and silence, and the H70 was not even close to be silent; actually it reached the same noise level as top-performance air coolers. = HEADPHONES :)

tHX!

The problem most have with Aio's is the noise, not the cooling potential, and that is entirely upto the fan. While performance may be good, or better, its a simple fact that the fans on Corsair Aio's suck.

Most motherboards use a 4pin pwm fan control for cpu. The fan that came with my h55 was of course 3pin, analog. This did create problems, and no shortage of noise. Swapping out the fan to a Noctua nf-f12 worked wonders. Not only did performance increase, but noise was drastically decreased. It helps that the fan curve is set for @900rpm max duty cycle, this keeps it around 30db(A) at full load. For comparison, 30db(A) is the volume of a whisper.

From the original post, Op States 'I've Yet' which I took to mean that was in the works for next acquisition, not 'I've got', so forgive the misunderstanding.

I personally prefer Aio's, but with the release of the Cryorig H7, I'm forced to rethink some performance standards. Yes it's that good. Out performs the hyper212 easily, sits 145mm vrs hyper212 's 160mm, has 0 ram clearance issues other than on 2011/x99 board with 8 ram slots, and is only $35 usd. All that and less than 35db(A) maxed? Welcome to the new King of budget coolers.

GT's are excellent rad fans, superior to the stock fans in every way, except 1. They are 3-pin fans and most motherboards will not control them because the cpu_fan header will only control 4-pin pwm fans, not 3-pin analog fans, so the fan will run 100% at all times.

If you are looking for similar performance to the GT's I'd suggest Noctua nf-p12 PWM which will work on the cpu_fan header perfectly and includes the necessary adapter for 2x fans.

Hello, all ok with the 7950 at the moment , trying with Metro 2033 is good game for Benchmark the VGA? and GTA ... at the moment I leave Corsair stock Fans at 1400rpm (normal noise and a little bit more CFM than GT at 1400rpm) connected to mobo FAN1, and water pump to FANCPU but also I have Scythe fan controller ..
