Hey everyone :D

I'm currently in the process of building a new PC since my old laptop sucks massively!

My budget is around $1000-1300.
I'll be using it for mostly gaming!
I'll be buying it this month probably.

I'd just like to get some feedback if what I've done seems good and what I can improve!

Pretty decent all around really. Obviously at that budget you have a lot of options with regards to Intel/AMD CPUs and Nvidia/AMD graphics, you've got a decent balance there though.
If you are overclocking, it's probably worth considering the FX8320 over the FX8350 as they are theoretically the same thing. I'd personally go a bit cheaper on RAM too (you can save around £20 without really losing performance). With the PSU, at that price I don't think it's too appealing, you can pick up a semi modular XFX650W XXX for cheaper.
At that kind of budget, an SSD, even a small one, is also appealing as its going to increase your overall system performance, even if it doesn't do a lot for games.
Generally though, you are on the right track.

Thanks for replying!

So I checked out the 8320 a bit more and it seems it docent perform anything like the 8350 in overclocking, so I'll be keeping that ^^
The comparison on CPUBoss: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-FX-8350-vs-AMD-FX-8320

About the ram, I choose the Corsair Pro since I absolutely love how they look, and Corsair are a very trustable brand for ram, their vengeance series is extremely popular. Could you recommend me any good ones since I'm kind of lost there.

Yea, I'm still not sure about that PSU, I started out with a CX series one but apparently they're made with bad compenents. What are the reliable brands for PSU's?

Thanks a lot for helping me, really appreciate it!
