Great!

AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W FD8350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor
AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W FD8350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor

Pros: It is a great solid processor. I have had this for more than 1 year and I have had a great gaming experience with it. I have managed to Overclock the processor to 4.7GHz with a CM Nepton 280L closed water loop cooler.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: AMD has failed to release new chipsets. :(

Cheap and easy board

BIOSTAR TA970 Ver. 5.3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: I have been mining cryptocurrency on this, paired with an fx 6300 and I am mining on the CPU as well, so I think I have put this board under stress and it has done very well and it is still kicking after 5 months of continuous use.

Cons: None really, other reviews mentioned the the chipsets get very hot, but I haven't noticed this.

Missing Free Games

Pros: Great GPU I am even ready to buy another and crossfire it. Great box, I framed it because it looks awesome. I play skyrim and minecraft mainly. I get 150+ fps on FTB easily and skyrim is just wonderful I have installed tons of texture mods and haven't encountered a problem yet.

Cons: I never received my free game certificate.

Overall Review: I would love to get my certificate.
