I'd get a better mobo (A75 at least, for modern interfaces, and probably not MSI, for better VRMs), and a PSU other than the Corsair "CX," which was built with inferior Samxon capacitors that can't take heat and tend to fail early. Check out a Seasonic, or one built by them (e.g. XFX, Antec HCG), or a Rosewill Capstone.

I'd stay from Corsair CX Series. If you want scrap the SSD and use the money and get a 760 or maybe 280X. However you might have to upgrade that PSU then. All in all the build is nice. idk much about AMD CPUs so I can't say much about them. Besides that the build is nice but I'd looking into finding a better PSU. Maybe XFX or Corsair TX series
