You didn't add anything to "Storage", so I'm guessing you already have a HDD.

It was such a close game, 5-4. GG, was a great match and thanks to meb for casting this!
Just played his team and he was making some good plays as roamer. Someone should definitely mentor him!
This is a pretty nice build, but I recommend replacing some components
SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211597
(SandForce based, so it's much faster than the M4.)
Also, you can try using the new Haswell CPU. It actually might be better than the FX-8350. I can't confirm that at this moment.
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116899
(On sale for $199.99 in another website)
MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128601
LASTLY, if you want more performance for higher-end games, you can downgrade your SSD to 128gb and get an EVGA GTX 770 Superclocked w/ ACX Cooling Unit
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130921
(The new ACX cooling unit is like 10c cooler than the stock EVGA design. The fans are also supposed to last 12 years, according from EVGA.)
128gb SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211596
(The weaker chip is on for this SSD, so you actually get 128gb instead of 120gb)
ickyJelloSo do I just replace the files in the cfg folder?
Make sure that you put your autoexec in tf/custom/UserStuff/cfg. If you don't have UserStuff, create that as a folder
tornados2111Happen to know how far it can overclock?
They pretty much have the same overclocking abilities. It's just that the UD5 has 5 PCI-E Slots and 8 SATA 6gb/s while the UD3 has 4 PCI-E Slots and 6 SATA gb/s
tornados2111I found some 8GB of 1866Mhz ram for the same price http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/8GB+Mushkin+Enhanced+Redline+Frostbyte+%23997007+%282x4GB%29+1866+%28PC3-15000%29+240-Pin+DDR3+SDRAM+CAS+9-10-9-27+1.5V+?productId=45903 Does that look ok?
And newegg don't ship to EU at all... :(
Mushkin makes some pretty nice RAM, so that's good enough. Also, I recommend using the GIGABYTE-990FXA-UD3 instead of the UD5.
FlakxatmoCheck the PC Building forum on boards.ie (if you're actually in Ireland). Most people there buy from http://harwareversand.de because of the flat-rate shipping.
you misspelt the url there, thanks for the site though. I normally have to get stuff deliverd to my grandmother up north to avoid crazy shipping costs.
BASICALLY, get a power supply that uses Japanese Capacitors. XFX uses the same parts as SeaSonic, so that's an alternate option.
DKreplace the power supply for at least a 600w one.
530W is plenty for this build.
This isn't very good since the A10-5700 has integrated graphics. In order to run dual graphics with the APU, you need to use a 6670.
Since you're planning on using your 5770, I recommend buying a desktop that uses the i5's integrated graphics since you'll get more performance out of your CPU compared to an APU.
Desktops using the i5 graphics cost around $500-600.

If you're looking to stream/overclock, I recommend this build.

You'll have $135 left to get some peripherals
EDIT: Silly me, I forgot to include a case.
tornados2111Would an 8350 get over 120fps at all times?
Of course it would, if you don't get a GPU that's going to bottleneck the CPU.
The FX-8350 gets a tad less FPS than the i5-3570k, but you can get much more streaming performance. Those 4 extra cores make a difference. Also, of course you're going to see stutters if you use a low-end CPU.
P.S, Some Intel CPUs use the same 32nm architecture as the AMD CPUs. I'll list a few.
