| I had no idea where I should post this so I figured off topic would be a good stab in the dark. Anyway how does this build look? And any suggestions where I can cut some costs? Anyway here it goes.
AMD FX-8320 (8 core at 3.5ghz stock 4ghz turbo boost, will probably overclock to a 4ghz default)
MSI AMD 970 motherboard
8 gb DDR3 at 1866mhz
850 watt psu
AMD R9 280x 3gb ( I know everyone on here recommends Nvidia but this is the most bang for my buck in this price range as the only nvidia card in my price range is a GTX 960 and the R9 280x destroys it in most if not all benchmarks.)
AMD FX-8320 8 core @4.0ghz , AMD R9 290 4GB, 8GB DDR3 @1866mhz, 1TB Hard Drive

| Quick look, what I can gather is that you love your AMD and that you may be close to 'Rainbow Chasing' syndrome.

| I would go for a less power hungry graphics card and put the money saved into more RAM. But it depends on what you're going to use the computer for.

| Cuboid, and probably darkly coloured, most likely with various LED lights.

| I actually put more $$ into my GPU and got a R9 290
Very happy with what I built. Runs every game I throw at it max at 60+ FPS
8 gb of ram is actually pretty much all you need right now and I have no problem dropping another $50 on 8 more gigs in a year or so.
(My mobo can upgrade all the way up to 64 gb so I'm not to worried about the ram)
But thanks for the input everyone
