"i still believe in my fx-8350"
i might not even go for AMD, they're not power efficient and they just get hot easily from what i've heard
sure the prices are cheaper but i don't want to have a CPU melt in my system (not being literal here but you get my point) |

As long as you have good cooling, it's fine.
I'm going to have two intake fans and four exhaust fans.

| I think I'm fine with my 3770. I would roll AMD if I didn't accidentally buy my PC for $300. |
