The first mistake is the CX series PSU. It is not good at all it is poor quality material and may burn the PC. Get from Antec, EVGA, SeaSonic, Thermaltake or XFX. These are excellent manufacturers for PSU.
Instead of a WD, I recommend a Seagate Barracuda for a few dollars extra. It's worth it mate.
Get a Corsair or G.Skill RAM, however a Crucial is still good.
The rest seems good.

Corsair CX isn't great, but you're exaggerating here. No, it will not "burn your PC". In fact it's much more likely to "burn your PC" if you just get a random PSU from Thermaltake, because they have a mix of PSUs ranging from very good to really bad.

With no offense to Joe I unselected the best answer if we are still talking parts.
How much of your budget does the above build use? I wouldn't put any FX CPU on the 760 board. You really want more then a 760 board to run your 125W CPU. You said peripherals but I don't see any. Just the keyboard/mouse or do you need the monitor and windows as well?

I saw monitor in there after I wrote my post. Didn't see keyboard/mouse. Which I see now that I look. I ran the math, you are at $965 now. Ouch. Is there a reason you are using Amazon? Newegg has combos which might help out. Off the top of my head I think you need to drop down to the Nvidia 760, get a smaller/cheaper PSU, go to 2x4GB for ram, and spend the rest on the motherboard.

I am using amazon because I live in Australia. I have managed to make a much cheaper PC, I changed the GPU to a Gigabyte R9 280X. It was the cheapest version and had very nice reviews. It was about 260 dollars. I also changed my CPU to a FX6300, because it was 30 dollars cheaper and would still serve the purpose I needed it to (gaming). Also I went for a single 8GB stick because my mobo only has 2 slots, so that I could get another 8GB. Do you have a recommendation on a good mobo. (no more then about 70) that has more then 2 ram slots, and can support cross firing?
