I think the case might be a bit snug, should I go for a full? This is a gaming rig.

The main thing I would look at changing is the CPU. Go for the newer FX-8350 it's only $20 more and easily 10% faster all round.

You shouldn't have any problems fitting everything in that case and because the graphics cards are rear venting you shouldn't have any major heat issues either. This being said I'd want to get a decent CPU cooler and overclock.

I half agree with the PSU comment. The CX series aren't the greatest but they aren't bad either, actually very good for the price. Maybe go with the TX750 but of course it costs more.

I agree with casper1973 on going 8350 - good performance upgrade for just a little bit extra.
