Hello, people........I'm flying in the air now. I've got much money (scholarship), to spend on a new rig...........Can U help me pls??

My choice:
ASUS M5A99FX Pro. V 2.0 motherboard (don't know if it supports 8350)
AMD fx8350 4.0 GHz ( I want to overclock it )
XFX AMD Radeon R9 270X 2 GB GDDR5 (already owned)
Kingston 8 GB 1333 MHz RAM (already owned)
Corsair VS650 80 plus PSU (already owned)
Is the combination good ? the PSU, CPU, GPU, MoBo...will everything work perfectly????
I shall buy 2 Cooler master 120mm fans and Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo cpu fan.............thanks for your opinion..............btw I'm not spamming

According to the definition a high end rig costs nearly 700-1000$...... since you have most of the stuff..i suggest you to upgrade your ram at least 1600MHz, get a better gpu, that r9 270x is not going to hold enough...your cpu is good and your cooler is good ie 212, all you need to upgrade is ram and gpu and a second thought about psu can be useful if you will use high end stuff or go for multi gpu configuration...
cheers

Yes it will. I would upgrade the bios to the newest version first though.
