so this is my first somewhat high end build and i would like some opinions before i go and do something stupid, it will cost quite a bit but i'm hoping it will be worth.

CPU: AMD FX 8350 (also considering an 8320) it's gonna be running at stock speed for quite a while but i do plan on overclocking, will buy decent after market cooling then
motherboard: ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0
RAM: 8 GB corsair vengeance (2x4) may go with a (1x8) and add another 8 later on
HDD: 1 TB WB black
SSD: samsung 840 evo 120 GB
GPU: AMD R9 290 (or a 280/280x)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 80 PLUS Gold
CASE: thinking about getting a cooler master HAF series, however if you do have anything else in mind that would work please do make a recommendation.

after some searching and fiddling around most sources kinda said the fx 8350 is better than the I5, plus where i live the prices are sky high, so that build you just suggested would cost me way more than it should

In multi-thread programs yes 8350 is better but in single thread programs even i3 is better.

how's the air flow on a CM k380?
its kind of the best case i could find that wont cost me more than the CPU

and this PC is gonna be strictly for gaming so i think the CPU choice doesn't matter as much as the GPU
i'm kind of an idiot, bare with me

considering your build, with a few tweaks for budget, MB is not available but that shouldn't be a problem
and just to give you some idea of what i meant by prices are sky high, SSD costs the equivalent of 150$
CPU costs the equivalent of 300$
shit is that expensive here
