I hope you didn't buy it yet. That CPU with that Motherboard, uggg. You need a waaay better more powerful motherboard to pair with that CPU. In all honest, that CPU is a waste in itself. It runs way too hot and too much power for a small increase over a 8350.

If You are going to spend that much on a CPU, go with an Intel i5 & you will be happier. I am an equal fan of both AMD & Intel. While I don't regret building my current Rig, If I was to do it over again it would be the Intel build.
