Hi guys, for a while now I'm trying to build my first PC, soon I will want to buy it and I'm looking for opinions if this is good, or what should I change/add...
I'm sure you can lose your optical drive for a 8350 right ?

Or, if you really need it, get the 8320 and the cheapest optical drive. That after market cooler will allow you to overclock it to 8350 stock performance.
You can install your OS from a USB flash drive, that's how most people do it these days, it's easier and faster I believe. You will need a 8 gb flash drive, a PC with an optical drive (i'm sure you can find one) and about 15 minutes of time. And yes, there are significant performance gains when switching from the 6350 to the 83xx.
MoBo I have has 3 PCI ex x16 slots, do I have to connect my GPU to the first slot, or can I connect i to the 2nd one without any problems? My wifi card is using pci exp x1 and If I will use first Pci express x16 slot for my GPU i wont have access to PCI exp x1...
