Here's a bunch of questions! What cooler are you using? Is it a closed or open loop? What radiator and fans? Okay, one last question! What are your specs and case? :P

Missed one, what monitor(s) are you using? Haha.

1. Corsair H60
2. Closed
3. Rad (single) included with cooler, same as fan(120mm).
4. Specs: AMD Phenom II X4 OC'd @4.2ish GHz, 4gb ddr3 ram, EVGA Geforce GT 740 (Will be upgraded to 1070), Radeon 120gb ssd, Nzxt HUE+ and all of that is in a S340 white.
5. Monitor is some Acer AL1706 (old)

*mobo is a Gigabyte 970A-DS3P, got a EVGA 500w 80+ Bronze PSU

If that sounding horrible, http://pcpartpicker.com/list/KF2FGf

Nice, nice. :D I would suggest getting more RAM though, and since the mobo supports it, I don't understand why you didn't? :o

Budget. :P 8gb was kinda pricey

Really? :o My brother bought Corsair Vengeance 16gb for about 46 USD, though that may have been discounted, not sure. Still though, nice build. I'm running something a bit worse, since I first got it in 2011. I have upgraded some stuff though, and I'm buying a brand new next year, with a budget of 4600 USD. :P

Planning on upgraded to a FX-8350. Since I'm also getting a 1070 eventually, the phenom will completely bottleneck the gpu.

Yeah, the FX is a good one. My current setup is: I3-2120 3.3ghz, 8 Gb DDR3 1333 MHz, mobo is some random crap one, my GPU is Zotac GTX 550 ti amp and my case is a Fractal Design Core 2500 (Got it 10 days ago),

I have ordered a new CPU fan too and 2 Noctua NF-A14 PWM 140mm fans and one more 120mm for the front. Not the best but somehow runs most of the games on medium/high, keep in mind that I won't ever change the resolution to under 1080 haha. :P

My cpu upgrade will probably be next week or after, with my Phenom II X4, It may say it has 4 cores, but 2 of them are dead. >> even applying some tiny volts to the cpu wont get those cores back. Even when cpu unlock is enabled, only 3 cores show up, but the 3rd is dead too. >>

Also your build sounds just like my first pc. :P Had some random crap board, It had a Athlon 64 (<----) @2.6ghz. 4gb of ddr2 at 800mhz I think, PNY 9500 GT, and a weird cooler master cooler.

Yeah haha. I originally bought it back in 2011 really cheap, since I know a guy who works at an IT thingy, but I've been cleaning the components regularly, and when I got this case, I took of the GPU cooler to clean it and replace the thermal paste, as it's a bit old and my GPU idle temps were at 70 degrees Celsius. Not very nice. :P

Somewhere on my shelf, I still have a Athlon 64 (8th generation amd cpu) and a Athlon X2 (first dual core).

ofc I used the Athlon in my first cpu, oc'd from 2.6ghz to 3ghz

Ah that's nice though. Keep your first cpu! I will keep this pc even when I get a new one since it was my first 'real' gaming pc. :P
