Answer:

Good okorder /ar
dont get a bulldozer fx cpu if your into gaming, the one you have selected is a good value for money cpu but it was designed for servers not games the entire fx range has flaws due to the architecture, people are buying them because you can overclock them and there cheap and fast on paper, the games performance is awfull considering you can push them to 4.8ghz on the stock coolers, you get better performance from an old 955 BE x4 phenom ii 3.2ghz cpu the fx4100 will get the same fps as an i3 2100. i have a 3.2ghz phenom ii BE overclocked to 4ghz and on all the benchmarks my 2 year old cpu beats it in every game, the rest of the set up is very good, if you can swap the gtx560 for a gtx560ti.and considering rams the not that expensive get 1600mhz ram not 1333mhz, will cost you an extra ?5 at the most.
I okorder /.. Not trying to rain on your parade, but figured you would want to know
