Congratulations on your build, I'm sure it will give you many, many hours of great gaming.

Sorry about your damaged 8350. I remember when I build my first PC that the guy at the store where I bought my mobo and CPU told me that they could put the CPU on the socket for me. I actually thought about it for a sec, but I said no. I was like "If I'm building my PC, I'm building it, not anyone else. Even if that meant damaging something." Luckily everything went fine.

 

But I have to make it note. You went with the RED team (AMD) and choosed a RED case... and then you went with a blue motherboard?! Silly you, you should have gone with a Red/Black ASUS' Republic of Gamers mobo and red RAM sticks (Kingston or G.Skill) to make the build match.

Yeah the color matchup was a mess. I'm rusty at these things and didn't know that there's all sorts of different colors and LEDs nowadays.

I just bought the case with the color I wanted and then put the parts I wanted without knowing anything about LED lighting.

I fought all mothaboards were blue nowadays. At least all the models I considered were blue, even the ASUS ones (M5A99FX PRO and Sabertooth).

Do you mean I could have gotten a set up with all red colors including the LED lighting?
