Hi there, I just ordered a new gaming rig, the parts are in the mail as we speak. I would like some critique/advice for very near future upgrades or improvements. Here's what i grabbed:

CPU: AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX600)
HDD: WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX
SSD: SAMSUNG 840 Series MZ-7TD250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL

Let me know what you think and what any small upgrades I might be able to make that would noticeably increase performance! Thanks!!
