Not a bad build, just not what I'd choose in this day and age.

1150 should have been your list for the price of this.

If I were you I would get a different motherboard, one with 1150 socket type as they are more compatible with better CPUs these days if you ever wanted to buy and change your CPU for a better one

The motherboard is a AMD motherboard, and I cant find a AMD board with 1150. Only the Intel boards have the 1150 and I dont think my AMD CPU would go with a Intel motherboard. But im not forsure.

There is a very good reason for that... 1150 is a Intel only socket, with much better upgrade-ability. That is the only reason I said to consider it. AM3+ is dead now, so I see no point buying it in this day and age.

PS: This made me lol a bit.

So what CPU should I get with a 1150 socket motherboard for the same price as the AMD?

The i5-4670 (or K version if you want to OC), is good for roughly the same price as the 8350. I personally have the 4670, and I love it. Have no problems at all with it performance wise. The only con about it, is the lack for support of 1866MHz+ memory speeds. The 4670 (and I believe K version) only supports 1333 & 1600 . You can keep the1866 memory but it will down-clock it to 1600.

Keep in mind with the Hyper 212 EVO, it has troubles fitting into some mid-tower cases properly. So if you have the spare cash, upgrade to a full tower unless you are 100% sure the 212 EVO will fit in the case!

Stick with the ram. But the PSU? Corsair CS750 GOLD

Motherboard? Get the Sabertooth z87 LGA 1150

Then get an 1150 CPU Cooler

intel i5's are decent, If you want the best get the i7 4770-K
