Hi guys, I'm new to computer building entirely but I decided I wanted to create one for under $1000. This is my finalized build, and I really do not want to waste money by buying something that will not work with the other components, or buy too weak of a power supply, etc. Basically, I just need some guidance. My biggest concern is definitely if I need a better power supply or not. Thank you!

Plans for the computer: Dual monitor, playing games hopefully at full Ultra. Mainly for League of Legends and streaming.

Edit: I know this build is way under 1000, however I fit in an operating system and a monitor*

Build:
AMD FX-6350 3.9GHz 6-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card
Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

I noticed that your motherboard is dual channel and not quad channel so if you ever plan on having 16 GB of RAM, I would suggest either getting either one 8 GB RAM module now and another one later on. Or to go ahead and get two 8 GB RAM modules now. Dual channel will help a bit in the computer utilizing the RAM better.

FX-6350 isn't worth it. FX-6300 instead. Other than that, it looks good.

Thank you! I made that decision actually last minute to go to the 6300 because I was told it would not be strong enough. But I will take your advice. Thank you!
