Hello tomshardware community, I've done 2 months of research to build my very first gaming PC by the end of 2013. I've received a lot of suggestions and advice about the parts I've chosen and I've taken some of those suggestions. For the last time, I request opinions, advice, suggestions, etc. about the parts I will be buying in a few weeks.

Parts:
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-8320
Video Card: GeForce GTX 760 2GB
Power Supply: Seasonic M12II 620W
Hard Drive: Western Digital WD10EZEX 1TB
RAM: G.Skill Sniper 8GB(2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Case: NZXT Phantom PHAN-001WT or NZXT Phantom 530
(There is a possibility that I might get an SSD to boot from but its a low chance)

All responses are appreciated :)

Well it depends on which you want to run better, gaming or 3d modeling. If you can afford it, the i7 would be best for both, but that would be a high budget. I need to know which is what you really want the build for.

The sole purpose is gaming? If there isn't any video or picture editing being done I would highly suggest switching to intel. I will throw something together for you i just need to know whether or not you are planning on overclocking and other information that might be relevant, such as if you live in a country other than the US.

I plan on video editing and 3D modeling on this PC, too. I don't plan on overclocking but theres a possibility that I might do it. If I feel like I need to overclock, then I'll do it. I live in the US but I don't live on the mainland.

A majority of the time that will be spent on this computer will be gaming.
