Is this good for an AMD build?

Corsair Hydro Series H100i
AMD FX-8350
Seagate 2TB HDD
G.SKILL RipjawsX 16GB DDR3 1866MHz
Corsair HX 850 V2 power supply
Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0
COOLER MASTER STORM STRYKER
Samsung 120gb SSD
Sapphire Radeon HD7950 Vapor-X OC
TP-LINK 300Mbps Wireless chip
 
Yeah it looks good. I'd suggest the following changes:

- Replace the H100i with a Noctua NH-D14. It's cheaper and performs just as good. If you're going for water cooling, grab a custom kit.
- If you must use AMD, go with the FX-6300. If not, I'd choose an Intel Core i5-3570K.
- Replace the Asus SABERTOOTH board with an ASRock Z77 Extreme 4. The Asus board is too pricey. Better to invest in something else.
- From the almost $100 that you saved, upgrade to the Radeon HD 7970.
