RAM - 16GB DDR3

Graphics Card - AMD R9 Radeon 280X OC 1000Mhz

OS - Windows 7 Home Premium

I guess this would strongly depend on your budget. With that build I would say that your build is pretty good and would be able to handle just about everything on a variance of settings.

You could probably get an i5 build for around the same price. Also you need a 970/990 chipset mobo for the fx sereies CPUs, the 780 chipset just doesn't cut it for them (even though they have the same socket). The only 970 mobos I would recommend for the fx-8320/8350 are the Asus M5A97 R2 (not LE) or the Gigabyte GA97-UD3P. Otherwise you should be going for the 990 mobos.

Also, you didn't list a power supply.
 


Actually the CPU is supported via CPU Support list from ASUS http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A78LUSB3/HelpDesk_CPU/

Also you are right the PSU is not listed. However I would venture that he may already have that I'm not sure. Also 16 GB may be overkill but its fine.
