Ahhhh the struggles of building a pc when you live in europe and are not bill gates,I was just curious if you guys could help me make this gaming setup cheaper/better in any way,all help is appreciated.

CPU: AMD 8350

MOBO: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R.2

RAM: G.Skill F3 17000CL11 8GB 4X2 Sticks

SSD:Samsung 840 Series EVO 120GB

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm

GPU:Gigabye Geforce GTX 760 Windforce 2GB

PSU: XFX PRO750W

CPU Cooler:Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212

Optical Drive: ASUS DRW 24F1ST

At this minute this build is costing me 950 euros because of where i live ,I was setting out to spend 800 which is why i am now ask you brave computer warriors to set out on a journey to save me money!
 
Oh,ive never heard of a hybrid drive,how do they work,and yeah my mobo is the one thing at thee moment which is considerably cheap because of the sales,I was think more of like,if the psu is overkill and or if the graphics card is overkill and or cpu etc.i wish there was a site that could tell me what type of fps i would get in a specific game with a specific pc build.
 
Don't cheap out on a psu, a quality psu can last through a few builds and not destroy your components. I'm not exactly sure how an sshd works but it has 8gb of nand flash and it uses caching algorithms to store data on it. They are faster than conventional HDD's but slower than an SSD. Great for a budget though sinc ewthey are about $20 more than an equivalent HDD.

Solution
CPU: AMD 8350
-if you want to extreme o/c keep this cpu, if not get the 8320 instead and just oc that one to 8350 performance levels.
MOBO: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R.2
-buy the 99x motherboard instead
RAM: G.Skill F3 17000CL11 8GB 4X2 Sticks
-use whatever 2x4gb 1600mhz sticks are cheapest (though i'd stick with gskill or corsair)
SSD:Samsung 840 Series EVO 120GB
-good
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm
-good
GPU:Gigabye Geforce GTX 760 Windforce 2GB
-your choice, get the best you can manage with the remaining budget. i wouldnt drop down though here.
PSU: XFX PRO750W
-get a solid 550w power supply instead
CPU Cooler:Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212
-good
Optical Drive: ASUS DRW 24F1ST
-anything works

you wanted benchmarks? well assuming you arent going to get a cpu benchmark this is a good idea of what new gen games will need and what settings you will get
