Hello everyone.

I need advice on buying new parts for my 3 year old PC. I need a new motherboard, CPU, graphics card and 8GB memory. I have selected a few parts using PCPartpicker. The link is below.

I have a corsair 650W power supply and two 1TB samsung F3 HDDs. Are these parts good for the price or can you guys suggest different parts for similar performance and a better price? Thank you for your help in advance. I'm trying to stay around the $500-$600 total range.

I'd go AMD FX8320, Asus m5a99x mobo, any 8gb kit from 1600 up to 2133 (this ASUS mobo supports up to 2133 speed RAM)
and then a 7950 gpu

tigerdirect has the Sapphire dual fan 7950 for $180 after rebate today. its a great deal

that should come out to $550 or so after rebates (depending on newegg promos/discounts/rebates that change weekly)

corsair 650 is plenty fine either way.
if you prefer to stick with intel/nvidia, then your build is fine
