Looks like an excellent build! Make sure the motherboard you're buying comes with the correct BIOS for the FX-8350. However, for the best experience, buy a motherboard with a 990FX chipset.

I took a look at the 990 chipset motherboards but they are a bit over my budget. Is the asrock 970 extreme 4 an overall good motherboard? Is it a good overclocker? I want to overclock my 8320 to 4.4ghz maybe. Any other suggestions?

Its just the BIOS needs an upgrade prior using the chips, the things that PCpartpicker says is not always true,

Oh ok, Thats good to know! :) Is the xpg ram good? I have never heard about it and only for a couple of more dollars i can get corsair which is one of the leading brands and is known for good products. Is the ram you listed worth it?
