AMD System Config : Need Advice

[shankar_psn]

Hi All,

AMD FX 8350
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL)
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 Motherboard
Gigabyte AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 2 GB DDR3 GV-R667D3-2GI Graphics Card
Seagate Barracuda 2 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST2000DM001)
NZXT Source 210 Elite
Seasonic S12II 520 Watts PSU

Is the above system config. good enough for a mid range gaming system ?

And i will be using the system for running some multiple VM's.

I will be changing the Graphics Card after some 6 months.

I would like to know whether the motherboard is good enough ...

And whats the difference between gigabyte UD3 and UD5 board's.


Please let me know if any changes have to be made.


Thanks,
Shankar

The Motherboard is very good but recently we are having some reports about poor Gigabyte Service all over India. You can opt for Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 around 14K which is a real great board. Also for HDD, try to get the Toshiba 2TB SATA 6 Gbps HDD (DKTIN2TB7200).
