Hello internet, I'm looking to build a fairly good gaming pc, with a grand total just under $500, excluding the monitor and os, which I already have. For the processor I chose an AMD FX-8320 at 3.5 ghz, 4.0 ghz turbo. For the graphics card, I chose a Sapphire 1 gb gddr5 radeon HD 7770. All of that will be paired up in a micro atx motherboard and case, 8gb of ram, 1tb of hdd, and a 450 watt power supply. Here are the full details of my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3gETt I'm going to be doing a moderate+ level of gaming, and hope this build can run games such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Battlefield 4, Minecraft and Rust at 60+ fps on at least medium settings. Another reason I chose the fx 8320 is because many new games seem to utilize 6+ cores, and I think that with the 8 cores it would run better. I know for sure that I will be doing at least some recording on Counter Strike: Global Offensive and Minecraft. I also think I'll be doing some light Photoshop and video editing on programs such as After Effects. I am planning to upgrade my graphics card maybe a year from building my pc. If anyone could rate, give feedback/constructive criticism, provide tips, suggestions, experiences, or any other helpful information on this build, that would be GREAT. Also, this is my first build, so if you could provide any tips or useful info about building a pc in general, that would also be gladly appreciated! Thank you all so much for your time! 
Also, if anyone could tell me how this processor runs that would be great. I really want to know if I'll feel an upgrade difference from my current pc which has an intel i3 @ 1.9 ghz and intel hd 4000 graphics. Suprisingly, this laptop costs more than my build!
