I've built this, seems decent for a 1000-1300 $ budget.. Just wondering if any of you reccomend anything better and keep me within my budget.
I mostly game(WoW, CS: GO, Call of Duty, Battle Field) - trying to be able to play these on high settings with 40+ fps in the intensive battles that happen.

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/t2yXYJ - canadian by the way.

I'm thinking of putting 16gb RAM instead of 8gb RAM. I already have a 128GB SSD as well.

Is this fine, or would an Intel Build be better. I don't want any bottle necking going on with the 8320(should i go with the 8350)?

thanks all!

Sticking at the same under $1,000 price (since no plans to overclock) you can get the Xeon, which gives you hyperthreading also (essentially it's an i7 without the integrated graphics chip). This will give you better, more stable performance in heavier threaded games (looking into the future)

Would definitely go Intel for the FPS stability. Here's a great full build under $1,000 that will get you Ultra/Max in all those games:

@Aspire - I do not plan on overclocking.
@Looks pretty good, I forgot to mention I have an 800W PSU already. Could I add another 8gb of RAM there or should I just keep the 60$ extra. OR spend the extra 60$ on a better intel processor?
