AMD FX-4170 Gaming build, Nvida GPU, Watercooling

As said above, a i5 3570k and a AMD 7850 would have been a lot better than the Bulldozer build. It would have also allowed a better upgrade path. But you seem certain that you don't want to change your order, may I ask why you want the Bulldozer CPU?

Well you will kill me for saying this, mainly Clock Speed bragging rights and to join friends who have sub£400 AMD Gaming PC's so mine will 'Rape' theirs in performance without them using the "Intel AMD not comparable" excuse.

At the end of the day im not trying to build a PC able to play games at 100fps @ 2000X1600, just something that is lightning quick and able to play all games on High (Maybe ultra) at 60fps at 1080p (as im using a TV for now :( )

As an upgrade path I can SLi another GTX 560ti 2Gb and overclock to 4.8ghz on the cooler I have picked easily. Im not a millionaire just an Admin Apprentice who wants some fun at the end of the day.

Also my girlfriend is getting ****ed at her Sim3 taking 10-15 mins to load on the crappy 2.2ghz HP All-In-One pc and I cannot model on it, hence the reason for the build.

I'm sorry, but that is one of the most silly reasons to stay away from Intel. Almost all prebuilt systems are made from lower end parts not designed for gaming at all.

You can, but your FX4 will bottleneck like hell, even at 4.8GHZ
CPU's only upgrade path is Piledriver which is an unknown quantity, likely a 3570k will still be better for gaming unless AMD can make up a 50% IPC deficit.

Your GF's crappy computer isn't an excuse for spending 900 quid badly.

Totally agree.
 
When I first saw the title, scrolled through I was confused why people were suggesting 3570k's till I saw his budget.

Seriously can't get over it.
Think I built my friend a 7950/16GB/3770K system for only a little more.

I'm actually in shock to be honest which is why I'm coming across like a *****.
I just can't fathom how 920 quid, and that's what you have.

My i5 3570k/7850 system cost £670, and will outperform his system by quite a bit.

But seriously, listen to us, we're trying to give you better performance for the same/less money.

It's not even because it's a bulldozer, it's because it's 920 quid and it's an FX4!
An FX8150, I can understand someone stupidly buying one at this budget.

Again i will get ripped for this, the girlfriends PC is AMD Athlon X3 based, with no possible means of unlocking the forth core.

Anyway, 90% of these posts are not in relation to what I am asking. I have asked if I will run into any problems with these parts and any suggestion of what I can do to make the current build stronger, maybe upgrade wise or with setting adjustments, not REPLACE WITH INTEL REPLACE WITH INTEL REPLACE WITH INTEL as its getting a little boring now.

Its like walking into a Tech store asking how to speed up your Android phone and they just say, throw it in the bin and go for apple. Its not what i asked

From what everyone is replying with it would seem the Title is;

Can you please rip me for buying AMD and then go on and on about Intel until the thread is requested closed due to time wasters!
