Hey guys, Im planning to buy the parts for my first ever pc next week and I have a few questions. First of all here is the build i planned:

AMD FX 6300 AM3+ 3.5GHz 14MB Black Edition 6-Core Processor
ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AM3+ Motherboard with Form Factor ATX
Leadtek Winfast Geforce GTX 650 TI Boost Dual Fan 2GB DDR5 192BIT
G.SKILL [ SNIPER ] F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR / 8GB (4GB x 2) / 1600Mhz
Western Digital 3.5' Caviar Blue 1TB Sata Hardisk
Xigmatek Power Supply TAURO 600W
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Air Cooler
Cooler Master Casing ATX HAF 912 Advanced
Lite-On 24x SATA Internal DVDRW Rom Burner Writer LiteOn

So my questions are: Can I overclock the cpu to around 4.2-4.4ghz? Are there better motherboards/cases at this price range? HD 7850 or gtx 650 ti boost? Is psu enough for sli in the future? Will this build work for the upcoming steamroller? Will this build be able to play most modern games at a playable fps on med to high setting on a 1080p monitor? Lastly, are there any ways to improve this build without spending too much as I am on a budget?(I can stretch it abit)
 
Solution
THe hd850 is far superior to the gtx650ti boost. Don't count on SLI being great on low end cards. It usually makes more sense to just buy a better GPU in the future than adding another low end card and not having any scaling.

The 2gb 7850 is EASILY the way to go.

Thanks for the responses guys, but i was thinking of getting the gtx 650 ti boost as I can sli it in the future, I've heard that crossfire has a alot issues. What are your thoughts on this? And is 600w enough for my needs?
