Do you have a budget, would you be okay with overclocking? Give me some more info, possibly what games you want to play and I will put something together.

Do not get green drives, they're slow for system drives. Go with a WD Blue drive.
And if you can add a SSD, this will make the system really fast

Yes. I use a 2TB green for my media, which occasionally takes a few seconds to respond when I start my music. But an SSD for OS, and it is amazing. Other than that, those parts look great.

Well your current build looks great, I would go with this, got a better video card and the only difference between the FX-8320 and 8350 is its stock clock speed, so with this cooler you should be able to run it higher than the 8350.

This cooler would make it run much cooler, because it is liquid cooling.

Same here, got a 2TB green for storing media. I don't access it too much so it's good that it doesn't use up too much power when idle.
Also have a 2TB red in my system and it works great too.
I have my SDD connected to a WD Black drive.

Well im not specialist on oc or something so will it be hard to oc this ??
and how this build will work in games??

gskill support · Nov 7, 2013

970 chipset motherboard is a little bit limited because it has less options to manually tweak, but you should still be able to get pretty good results.

Here is a guide for configuring RAM:

It will be good enough for gaming especially with some OC.

Thank you

Overclocking will not be difficult, may check to see if that motherboard handles overclocking fine. This build should run new games on highest at 1080 just fine.
This video shows just how well the build will run BF4, on ultra at 1920x1080. And the build in the video has a little bit worse processor

Just checked, that board won an award from OverClocked Inside for being the Overclocking Price tip, so I would assume it will handle overclocking well.

I have a 1TB green drive for storing media and the wait time isn't even that noticeable at all!

thx for advice 7950 isnt much more expensive then R9 270x but will it handle new technology like mantle?

I checked and in my country build:
AMD X8 FX-8350 4.0GHz BOX
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3
Radeon 7950 MSI 3GB DDR5 HDMI&DVI&2xminiDP (PCI-E)
Seagate 1 TB Barracuda (64MB, SATA/600)
G.SKILL RipjawsX DDR3 2x4GB 1600MHz CL7
Corsair CX Series 600W ATX, 80 Plus Bronze Certified, EU Version
SilentiumPC Brutus BT-410 Pure Black

is cheaper then buying 8320 with cpu cooler and better motherboard

and thanks again for help.
