I looked through the other thread and did not know which one to reply on, so I picked this one. Haha.
I agree about switching to the M5A97 MoBo, I have had much better luck with ASUS and I am currently using that board in my rig with a 7850. Works like a charm, maxes out nearly everything I throw at it. I usually just set everything to high to see what happens and it runs like a champ.[All games at max except Far Cry 3] SWTOR, Tera, Far Cry 3 (very high w/ 2xAA), DIablo, Civ5, Metro 2033, Sim City Beta(with full shadow effects). None of those games, with the exception of Far Cry, are too demanding for my 7850 at 1050/1450. I also think that the 8320 is overkill. Save yourself the money and get the FX-6300 and throw some money at a partially modular power supply (around 600W) for easier cable management and it also helps with air flow, or, a better heat sink for that CPU just to keep it cool. You will want to at least hit the "turbo" button for your CPU to get more oomph out of it and stock coolers are just loud and fairly weak from my experience. Just get a 212 EVO for 30 bucks and you're set.
