The parts are picked out for the most part, just need a few more to complete the build.
Purchase Time: This week if at all possible.
Country of Origin: USA
Budget: $900 or less, really would like to keep it low if possible.
Uses: Gaming
Games: Minecraft, Borderlands 1 and 2, Saint's Row 3 and 4, Command and Conquer 3, Sims 2 and 3, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Diablo III w/ upcoming expansion, World of Warcraft
Detail settings: I would love to be able to play at 1080p (monitor's native resolution) and on "High" or higher if possible. Welling to dip lower to maintain at least a 30fps though.
Parts I don't need: Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, OS
Also I hate to say this, but I am limited at where I can buy my parts: Newegg, Amazon, and Tigerdirect are the three choices. really. I would really prefer all of one place though if possible. I also have Amazon Prime, so free 2 day shipping.
I also do not plan on Overclocking.
Here is what I have so far:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($119.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H75 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($77.55 @ Newegg)
Memory: Mushkin Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($76.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($64.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card ($209.99 @ Newegg)
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (Red) ATX Mid Tower Case ($89.98 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer ($19.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $809.46
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
(Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-02-04 15:57 EST-0500)
$847.96 before rebates ($50 in rebates) and shipping fees
Decided on the FX-6300 because when gaming I'm not doing much else. And I don't have much interest in BF4 or anything like that.
Went with the CPU cooler as it had paste already applied, if there is something cheaper with paste pre-applied that would be awesome!
Would like a modular psu to allow for as clean of a interior as well as allow for max airflow.
Any suggestions for this build is greatly appreciated! I am not a fanboy of anything, but am trying to keep the cost down, while keeping cool at the same time.
I went with 2 sticks instead of a single stick because I wanted a little backup, if 1 stick fails I will at least still have 4GB Ram instead of nothing at all. (Unless we did 2x8GB then I'd be all for that.
I AM completely open to suggestions though so please, shoot them my way. I just kind of had an idea in mind too. That was "Christine" (props if you get the reference) if not, it's Stephen King's "Christine".
Thank you for all your help!

The slow 1333MHz RAM can be improved. It's better to buy a kit that's meant to work together. CAS 9 1866MHz RAM isn't really any more expensive.

Why are you buying all those case fans? Are you trying to make the case levitate? Seriously, though, the case comes with a front 120mm fan, rear 120mm fan, and top 140mm fan. That should be all you need. Take the money saved and put it toward upgrading the GPU. Your money is much better spent on a GPU for a gaming system.
This nice Seasonic PSU would easily power your system.

I'm switching to the Asus one you mentioned, is that better than the Asrock I had picked out? How much better if so?Think I may keep the FX-6300 as it seemed to be a good gaming cpu (for budget)
First of all Asrock founder branched off from ASUS to from Asrock they're personally one of my favorite brands. imo it goes ASUS>ASROCK>GIGABYTE>MSI in that order for quality. also the 8350 is just amd's overclocked version of the 8320 that being said why would you want the top end fx processor with the 2nd highest end gpu on the market if you can afford it? seriously you'll be much happier with performance over aesthetics in the long run.

Ok cool, got the mobo figured out, I'm going with the Asus, (I've always liked Asus honestly).
As for the CPU, I wasn't planning on going with AMD's highest end cpu. Would those extra cores really help me in gaming? The FX-6300 is a 6-core cpu, or am I mistaken? Would'nt that work good?
Don't get me wrong, I am not arguing, or at least don't feel I am, but am just wondering, how much of a benefit would I actually get? Couldn't I go with the FX-6300 and wait for the FX-8320 to drop in price and then upgrade to it? Or is the FX-6300 not really strong enough to do what I want?

check this bad boy out http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
I think it performs better then the h75 I wouldn't even bother with a water loop with that small of a radiator if anything get the kraken x60 or whatever performs much better then the h100i

sure. now you wont necessarily net more frames with the 8 core processor apposed to the 6 but you will be able to maintain higher frames with it with other applications running such as a media player, browser, other games and what have you anything. and the further we go along the more cores games are able to utilize more and more cores. as far as I know battlefield 4 is one of the few games that is able to fully use the fx's 8 cores. its up to you but either or will be more then adequete if you're a multi tasker get the 8320.

(In main post) and would the current psu support a second HDD and extra fans should I add those all later on down the road? Also would the current mobo support the 8320?
