I received all of the parts over the course of this week and completed the build yesterday. Still all new so I don't have much to report except that I went a little overboard with air circulation... I have too many fans and even with them turned down as low as possible, it is still louder than my previous machine.
Not a horrible noise, just louder.
Because of all the bad reports of the FX (Piledriver) series of chips and how poorly they compare with Intel, I immediately fired up Skyrim to test. Couldn't tell the difference from my previous build... settings on Ultra+. I do have to note that I also have a better graphics card, too, but even so, the game performed exceptionally well. So, I am pretty confident that I made the right decision going with AM3+ and the FX-8350.
More later as I get back to work...
