Hi my name is Aaron and i'm a technician and allthough i looked everything up myself i want a 2nd PC technicians opinion!

This is for my rig!

I was going to get this AMD FX-8320 but i have a intel I7-2600K, As i said i looked it up and all the sites i go to say the 2600k is faster then the FX-8320, so what do you guys think?

and my 2nd question is if i have a 2600K i was going to get this GPU, but i don't want to make a bottleneck in my computer!

Tell me what you guys think of this!
Thank you in advanced!

An 8320 would be a downgrade from your current processor. Your best bet would be to buy a kickass cooler and overclock the i7-2600K, or buy a Haswell processor if you want a CPU upgrade.

As for the GPU, that would be a great fit for your System if you're gaming at 1080p. I personally would get the 770, as it delivers similar (if not identical performance), lower operating temperatures, and more features for the same amount. Either the R9 280X or GTX 770 would be great in that price range.
