My last build is about 2 years old now, cannibalized my old rig case and harddrive but everything else was new parts. Nothing like Dotems above rig, on a budget LOL.
Case: Thermaltake Armor Full Tower VA8000BWS
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 AM3+
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
RAM: Patriot Viper 3 (2x8GB) DDR3
GPU: Sapphire 100352-3L Radeon HD 7950 3GB
Storage: Whatever old 250GB hdd from my older build, suffering from lack of storage, 1TB external and a new 1TB internal waiting for Windows 10 to come out to install... Toying with the idea of adding an SSD
OS: Vista (also from old rig, I was too cheap to get 7 or 8, got 10 preordered)
Let us know how your RAM cache goes :-D sounds badass! And I haven't even gotten around to an SSD >_> *back to my corner*
As long as you get something you like for the money you have then its a good build IMO, the build I had before this one similar to yours but build 3 or 4 years before you and had worst gpu for the time. Luckily SSDs now days are silly cheap compared to two years ago so next time you upgrade I'm sure one will be in your price range.
