for gaming, right..?

okay, let's see..

good processor, nice board for overclocker, decent psu, enough memory, but bonaire class 7790 gpu will struggle for today games..

i suggest you to change your option..

take fx6300, and upgrade your graphic card to at least 7870/r270, or if it possible, to 7950/r 280.
then replace your hyper tx3 with coolermaster hyper 212+, because if you want (yes, you will) overclock this cpu to 4.2-4.4Ghz, this cooler can handle the heat..
This combination will much much much faster than fx8350+7790 in gaming...well, maybe 1.5x-2x faster..
