And in case I need it down the line, that’s the easiest part to upgrade.
I would go with some other CPU if I were you, unless you’re into something that require multicore setup like that. Its not really a gaming CPU.

Its not really a gaming CPU.It’s a CPU that allows for proper multi-tasking without throttling. And even if a game uses only 2 cores at 4GHz, it’s plenty enough for anything current.

Just remember the AMD FX-8350 will need hella cooling. The AMD FX-8150 Black (in the render box) can also run @ 4.2 so you can save some wet stinky by picking that part and slapping a proper HSF on it.

Push comes to shove, I’ll get a Be Quiet! heatsink to go along with it.

Pedro would make you DIAF!
At best Pedro I would say go with a 8320 instead of the 8350
Yeah, the 8320 does seem to have better Performance-per-�uro and a considerably smaller power drain. But then again, if we’re going to be looking at TDP, the FX-8370E will cost me �30 over the 8350 and bring down the TDP to 95W with a higher Turbo clock.
As for the SSHD, yeah. I wasn’t very confident with it from the start. I’mma hunt down a proper 1TB HDD. The Western Digital Blacks can push at around 200MB/s sequencial.
