Yo guys, i've recently put some parts togheder and i just want to hear your opinions after 1 month of part picking. So here is the list:
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus USB 3.0
Power supply: Cooler master 'B Series' B700 700W
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
CPU: AMD FX-8350
CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugen MAX
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 1866 MHz 2x4GB
SSHD: Seagate 1TB
Questions:
1. Is 700w power supply enough for this?
2.Will Mugen MAX and GPU fit into this case?
3.Is Mugen Max it be powerful enough to keep my cpu cool enough for long gaming peroids?(if not i can add another 140mm fan..)
4. I will overclock CPU for 30% and GPU for 20% in the future. Is motherboard capable of this?
5.Should i get 2TB HDD or 1TB SSHD? Is there really any difference or its just a gimmick?(i want my programs to load faster, is SSHD the way to go because SSD's are too expensive)
6. What FPS do i get on ultra in 1080p in today's games? (BF4,Gta V, Far Cry 4, etc..)

Sorry for so much questions, but i really need those answers. I will mark best answer. Thanks

1. Can't be sure if 700w psu is enough because you didn't list your gpu. I think you'll be fine, not sure though.
2. The Mugen MAX will most likely fit your case. Again, can't say anything about your gpu.
3. It will keep your cpu cool.
4. Overclocking on that motherboard isn't really strong, I would suggest the Asus M5A99FX Pro 2.0 for the motherboard.
5. Personalyl, I run a HDD and my games to load too slow. But if you really want to load games a couple seconds faster. a SSHD might be for you.
6. If you have a decent gpu (r9 290/x, gtx 970/980, gtx 780/780ti), you'll be able to get 45+ fps on modern games.

Is it really that little? I have a slight OC (900 mhz, stock mem) on my PCS+ HD 7950 and I get steady 60 fps in bf4 multiplayer.

Just goes to show how much OCing can help

Disregard what I said, I read the information wrong. Ultra will get you 30+ fps (at least on BF4). Sorry for the misinformation.
