Building my PC - 8th grade

During 8th grade I began planning what kind of computer I was going to get. I was splitting away from my console friends to indulge in the future of gaming. After working a long summer at a local pool, I earned enough money to comfortably buy my PC. I watched lots of YouTube videos, and looked up hundreds of benchmarks for different CPU's and graphics cards prior to building my machine.

The specifications for the computer are:
CPU: AMD FX 8320 8-Core Black Edition @ 4.2 GHz
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Thermal Paste: Arctic Silver 7
Storage: Kingston HyperX 128gb SSD (They were much more expensive at the time of building)
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0
GPU: Asus Radeon 7970 Direct CUII @ 1045 MHz
RAM: Mushkin Redline @ 1866 MHz
Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2

Please excuse my lisp, I had braces at the time.
