And os and dvd drive dont really need to link those

Kept them both under 900 woohoo might need to save up a little longer, original budget was 750 but its worth it and to be able to buy all my parts locally is great.. no hassle with shipping and such. I hope you like my builds
 
I shop at MicroCenter pretty often and that I can tell you that you should purchase their CPU/motherboard/RAM/SSD and maybe GPU, but not PSU. I'm not advertising here, but their service plan includes overclocking protection, so if you fry yourself CPU during overclocking, they will exchange a new one for it. I've personally heard it from a store manager.

I would go with
FX-8320 $129.99
CM Hyper 212 Evo $31.99
ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 $134.99 > $94.99
DDR3 1600 Ballistix Sport Kit 8 GB (2x4) $79.99 > $69.99
$326.96
