Processor - AMD Vishera FX-6300 3.50GHz (4.10GHz Turbo) 6-Core or AMD Vishera FX-8320 Black Edition 3.50GHz 8-Core
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8gb 1x8gb ddr3 1600 CL9 CMZ8GX3M1A1600C9
Video card - Sapphire R9-270X Dual-X OC 2GB DDR5 256bit Boost Full
HDD - Internal Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB, 64mb, WD10EZRX (SATA 6 Gb/s)

Yes that's the same amount of ram just dualchannel,1x8 is singlechannel and 2x4 is dualchannel but still the same amount of ram.

If a motherboard has 4 ramslots i always think it's a good thing to go for dualchannel,how small the extra speed may be.You will still have the option to upgrade then and it shouldn't cost that much extra money wise.

Yes your old psu would do fine.

About the ram,i would take 2x4gb of ram,you would still have the opportunity to upgrade later on.

If that hdd is for your os i suggest getting a 7200rpm disc like the Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST1000DM003, 1TB.
