Hi I live in the US Thermaltake T2 full tower Asus Crosshair Formula Z AMD FX 8350 Gskill Ripjaws 4G X 4 AMD Sapphire R9 270 Dual D Samsung 840 EVO 500 GB Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Corsair Max 750 Watt PS Logitech Gaming keyboard Logitech Mouse Thrustmaster Force Feedback Wheel and foot pedals Logitech Dual Shock 730 Gamepad Asus 23 inch 1080p 2ms Monitor Samsung 55 inch HD3DD monitor 8000 series 8 Tb Seagate disks in Raid 4X2 Headset attached to Creative Xfi Go I went to purchase I7 with a Asus Sabertooth 1150 but cost made me go with AMD, with regrets. Next build will be the new Haswell chip set when they are released I will go with max speed available 6 or 8 core.

The only real way to make my 8350 sane is to go with top of the line Asus Croshair Formula Z. 2400 Gskill memory and good cooling. However I first started with the stock cooler and 1600 Gskill Ripjaws X series and was able to get 4.4 GHZ overclock at stock voltages, by just raising the base CPU frequency to 208 Mhz. Got some temps toward 50 C and the memory ran at 60 C, a little warm. Still not fast enough for me. Water cooling with H240 and 2400 ram, tweak voltages a little now at 6Ghz, almost as fast as a stock old x77 I7. I7 is till faster. New Haswell 3.7 I7, no contest.
