I am going to build my first comp. I plan to use it for gaming, but other stuff too. I was wonder where I should juggle my money to parts wise. Please give any advise you can. I want to keep my computer in its current price range or even slightly lower. Here is the parts I have picked out as a start:


ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

EVGA 02G-P4-3063-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card w/ ACX Cooler

Rosewill CAPSTONE-550-M 550W Continuous @ 50°C, Intel Haswell Ready, 80 PLUS GOLD, ATX12V v2.31 & EPS12V v2.92, SLI/CrossFire ...

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL

( Also I was wondering if I can run larger bandwidth RAM on this mobo without OCing? Can it just not use its full bandwidth? Its only $2 more and would be more useful in the future lol)

AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX


Thanks for any and all help! So stressed about trying to get this right haha
 
Solution
This will all wok fine, if planning to OC the 8350 at all would go to a little better mobo and get a CPU cooler, and yes you can run faster DRAM the mobo CPU combo should take 1600 or even 1866
