I am currently working to build a new gaming PC, this will be my second go around so im pretty comfortable with anything. I am going to be running dual 1080p monitors. I have a PS4 and prefer to play battlefield 4 on it so i don't need over the top. I would like to get something that will allow me to run whatever I need at a comfortable 60fps. here is what I had in mind
cpu- AMD FX- 8320
MOBO- Gigabyte GA-970a
ram- gskils DDR3 1866 8gb
SSD- Adata s510 120gb
HDD- WD 1tb Black 7200rpm
GPU- either MSI R9 280 gaming 3gb at 955 mhz, or XFX R9 280x TDBD
PSU- Rosewill Capstone 750w 80+ gold
OS- Windows 8.1 OEM

As i said i would like to be able to game anything from WOW to minecraft, up to the new Withcer 3 or anything along those lines.
Any ideas or recommendations would be nice, I will be overclocking the CPU also, so Im thinking the GPU there may be room to save money as the cheaper it is the quicker i can get to building it

Oh ok, yes 280X is very comfortable with Ultra on latest titles, you're good to go there :)
And 990FX Ex3 is totally worth the money, its a very OCable MoBo, I'd say a good choice there.
And don't go anywhere below the CM Hyper 212 EVO cooler.
Everything looks fine but R9 280/X won't be ideal for dual setup. Atleast R9 290 will do you some good if you wish to get Ultra @ 50 FPS. But considering the games you're looking to play, 280 will just cut it marginally to get 40-50 FPS on Ultra or more comfortable FPS in 50s on High, as the games are not very demanding.

I plan on only gaming on the 1 monitor at 1080p and using the other for random stuff, Im not sure if that changes anything, i chose the 280x because from what i read it could run BF4 at 60fps on ultra for 1 monitor, i wont play it but if it can run it i should be set with other games, or i assume this anyways, alsor thanks for the MOBO advise i will look at it, i debated on the ASRock 990FX Extreme3 if thats a better choice for OC'ing
