Hi,I'm building a pc with a budget of 850$ (not including os, monitor, or peripherals). Are these parts good? At how many fps would it run? (BF3, farcry 3, crysis 3, BF4, modded textured skyrim)
I'm getting the parts from amazon.
Is 750watt enough? I will not be overclocking, so would I be fine with 520watt or 600watt?

CPU: AMD FX-8350 Fx-Series 8 core Black Edition (200$)
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 Mid Tower Computer Case. (47$)
PSU: KingWin Maximum 750 Watts ATX Power Supply - ABT-750MM (not certified, but good reviews on Amazon) http://www.amazon.com/KingWin-Maximum-Watts-Power-Supply/dp/B005J7Y6K4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1384179525&sr=8-3&keywords=700+watt+power+supply (55$)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon hd 7870Ghz OC 2GB (190$)
Mobo: MSI Computer Corp. Motherboard North Bridge AMD 970 & South Bridge AMD SB950 (80$)
+ 20$ for Optical Drive
Ram: 1x8 corsair Vengeance 1600mhz (81$)
HDD: Wester Digital Blue 1TB (65$)

Total: 738$

I was expecting a build of 850$, but the price turns up to be 738$. How can I upgrade this pc for more gaming fps? (main use gaming & recording)

Do not need monitor, os, peripherals (keyboard, mouse, headset, controller)

You need higher ramspeed 1833mhz i believe it was for AMD CPU's, you might lose lots of FPS sometimes.
This is because AMD favors the 1800mhz Ram sticks.

Also a R7-280x would be a nice GPU or a 7970 Gh edition, OR a 7950.

Save the money, stick with an AMD 8320 and a decent cooler(you'd want that anyways). Grab 2 x 4gb sticks of DDR3 1600/1866 depending on price. You can get a 970 chipset motherboard to save some money, or buy the best one and get the 990fx but the difference in price is 40 dollars or more.

The 7950 is a good price right now if you can find it, also some 7970's and 7970 ghz's are good prices too. If you aren't worried about crossfiring in the future, stick with a 550w-650w PSU from a better brand. OCZ, SeaSonic, XFX, Corsair(non-cx series), Antec, Pc Power and Cooling.

I think the AMD 8350 (the one I originally chose) is a better one. Even with an amd 8350, I still have 112$ left. I'm adding the Cooler Master Hyper 121 Plus for 28$ (light overclocking) but then I still have 84$ left. What might be possible future upgrades that might increase my performance?

Just like he said and i said GPU! you can get ALLOT more if you spend that 80 dollars into the GPU, just to tell you....a 7950 can run BTF4 on ultra with a nice FPS.

try and scope a 7970 Ghz edition! that would be ideal, als you NEED a 1866mhz RAM, its not a choice.

You CAN cripple your AMD system by going with intel spec 1600mhz ram.
