Hello! I'm new to building my own pc and was hoping I could get some input on my part choices. I guess I should start by saying my goal is to build a gaming pc, but to not exceed $900 either. I'd like to be able to run games as well as possible really without exceeding my budget too much.

Here are the parts I've selected:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card

Wireless Network Adapter: Rosewill RNX-N250PCe 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter

Case: Corsair 400R ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair Enthusiast 650W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer

So those are the parts I have selected at the moment. I will be running Windows 7 as my OS. Any feedback on choices I can make to better performance/save on money is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
