Just ordered an AMD FX-9370, 8gb of G.skill pc1600 (to go with the 8gb I already have), ATI R9 290x, Samsung 840 EVO 120gb SSD, MSI 970-g46 mobo.... should be decent!
New PC gaming rig!

So, I got everything together. Runs great, not a powerhouse but rocks X-com and Far Cry 3 pretty damn well.
I bit down and bought RAM too, it's on the way. 8gb of PC3-14900 (1866mhz). I'll use 4gb of the 1333mhz I have to go with it, for a total of 12gb.
Benchmarked with 3DMark 2013 @ 5935.

Nice specs, I almost got one of AMD's 8 core processors but got a FX-6350 instead due to my rather restrictive budget. I hope you have an external harddrive to go along with that SSD because you can use 120 gb in no time installing space consuming games. I have XCOM Enemy Unknown and that game alone takes up 12.9 gb, more than 10% of your ssd.

Thanks man! I found out of some issues, so I will be replacing the mobo with a 990FX chipset mobo soon.
I have a 1tb internal 7200RPM WD, and a 2TB external WD...
Oh, I also went with PC14900 (1866mhz) ram. I'm going to run it with 2x4gb 1333mhz ram. It will scale down, but 12gb of slightly slower RAM is still better than 8gb of faster RAM. Eventually I'll buy another 8gb of 1866mhz, to top it out at 16gb.

Sounds like a nice little rig to game on. I'd personally stick with the 8GB of faster ram then upgrade in the future, to save pennies and because I don't believe more than 8GB is needed for average computer use or gaming. The slower RAM would make a nice back up if any of the faster sticks die though.

Holy fuck that is a nice card. I remember when I was stoked to have a 512 mb card so I could play Fallout 3 on medium settings.
How much did you pay for that thing? Because Amazon has them up for 619$ :0

i told you months ago that game is a waste let me find the link 1 sec
ok found it he left dayz and promoted someone else to lead person.
it should be done by 2015. which i highly doubt will happen. the fact that this game has been on alpha for over a year is a bit ridiculous. esp. when the price tag of 30$
but thats just my opinion.
anyways should be up they say by 2015 hopefully the new guy can fix the bs with the game, ill be sure never to purchase a game from that lead person ever againlol

Careful with the solid state. Data retrieval and indexing is superior to a moving-parts disk drive, but rewriting is not. Probably best to play the games off the SS and do most other work on a regular HD. I'm a bit rusty on this stuff, but that's what my old professor told me when I had her computer assembly class.
