Phenom is a bitt aged, grab the FX8320, 8 cores, overclockable, etc.

FX6300 would even be on par with the 1090T.

3x4GB kit is not for this type of motherboard. That was intended for Intel X58 boards which had triple channel memory. You'll want something like a 2x4GB or 2x8GB kit.

Rest looks good.

Thanks Eximo, i searched for some other components based on your answer and came up with this:

CPU: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD8350FRHKBOX-FX-8350-FX-Series-Edition/dp/B009O7YUF6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1383359099&sr=8-2&keywords=fx+8320

Mobo: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Crosshair-Formula-Z-990FX-Motherboard/dp/B00906DHLE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1383359588&sr=8-3&keywords=asus+sabertooth+990fx

RAM: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-2400MHz-PC3-19200-KHX24C11T3K2-16X/dp/B00A771ZJG/ref=pd_sim_pc_2
