I dont need a monitor,keyboard,mouse,optical drive, os or hard drive (im using the one from my laptop). I went overkill on the psu because i might xfire in the future.

Not a 7970, but you won´t have an issue with maxing everything. BTW in your build you forgot the HDD

Feel free to change the case, I have it and I like it, but the chassis is a personal choice so have fun with that. Even though it steps out of you budget, you can cut a few things like the CPU, you would be fine with a FX 6300. But the 8320 is a better fit.

i said i dont need a hdd, if i xfire in the future i dont think that psu will be able to run it. Also i heard somewhere that the 6350 has a lot better single core performance than the 8320 and given that the max number of cores games use is 6 then is it really worth it getting the 8320.

Yes, but if you plan on Xfire then a fx 6350 isn´t exactly ideal.
But anyways I think this is ideal: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1eyjS
And this is better for your idea of Xfire and a 6350: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1eynD
