video card: evga geforce gtx 760

If you can save up a bit more money, get the GTX 770 for better performance. Even if you don't want to overclock, the CPU cooler is a good idea as the FX stock fans tend to be quite loud when under load.

Thank you very much for the advice, i am probably going to attempt the build with in the next few month so by than i may be able to swing for the gtx770. as i am extreamly new to the pc build world, what should i look for when choosing a processor as the one that you have is only 3.5ghz and the one i was looking at was 3.8ghz?

I'm not a massive expert on CPUs, but clock speed and number of cores aren't the only factors. The clock speed is fundamentally the number of clock cycles the CPU can make per second, but newer CPUs can do more work each clock cycle. Does that make sense? So, clock speed only really matters for CPUs that are very similar already.

Also, the number of cores is usually not too important with gaming. Number of cores is useful for multitasking and for applications that utilise more cores. Most games will not use that many cores, for example I believe Titanfall uses 2.

As I said, I don't claim to know too much about the specifics of a CPU - usually I just find benchmark comparisons of different CPUs online.

Hope that helped a little.

By the way, the FX-6300 is also a viable choice for a CPU - the only problem was, with your budget, even with the FX-6300 you wouldn't be able to get the GTX 770, so I thought I may as well get a more powerful CPU.
