I'm building a PC for gaming and other stuff. I wanna know how well the build is, what I can improve on, and what performance I can get from it. My budget is around $800 Canadian.

CPU: AMD FX-6300
MOBO: MSI 970A-G43
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 660 2GB
Case: Corsair 200R
PSU: Corsair CX430M
 
Solution
One thing, as people have been saying lately. Don't go with the Corsair CX psu. They aren't lasting like they should. I had one and it lasted an amazing 4 months till I had to replace it. everything else is for me personal taste. like a WD Caviar Black. I don't know AMD CPU's or sockets too well so I can't say on that. the 660 should run just about anything out just not bigger things on higher graphics. I'd put in a few bucks and go with the 760 but it's doesn't mean much between the two. Love corsair cases, got a C70 myself. Sorry if nothing I said helps you at all :p
