Never mind. I don't like Bulldozer because it sucks. Just get any 500W PSU (500W of efficiency ) and an Am3+ mobo plus 8Gb DDR3 RAM. What kind of RAM are you using ?

Excellent processor, very fast and reasonably cheap in the UK, I couldn't believe the speed difference when I bought this processor and replaced my old Athlon II X4 640.

Your CPU is better than this one for gaming because of the overclock don't throw it away. Even if it weren't for the oc it wouldn't be worth it.

8cores are good for nothing, maybe as cheap workstations or severs but for games you are better with 4 max 6 cores
And yeah, even with 6 core intel for 800$ you will notice only small difference in games with 6770, but if you upgrade your gpu to r7850/n660 or higher you will notice much better fps.
