for a 8320, I'd get more cooling than a hyper 212. Look into noctua or liquid cooling.

$422 for a 290 is a bit much.

You can find just as good cases for cheaper.

Get a better power supply. Look at other corsairs, antec or seasonic.

Decreased the price a little and was able to keep your 450D you wanted Went with a much better power supply, and Intel, to give you better overall performance in gaming and regular computing. The 212 EVO is enough to get you to 4.2 or so with the i5

Roughly the same as your original.

I included windows if you need it. If not, you can get a better motherboard, add in an aftermarket cooler, add in an SSD, or get the r9 290.

The SSD is too small to hold a ton of data. An HDD gives you more room at the cost of boot up times.

Went with the 770 because it's still a strong card for gaming, not as strong as the 290, but compensation.

PSU is a good unit. And RAM is different because it's cheaper and still does the job.
