Good choice of components for a mid range computer build considering the part of the world we are currently it, the AMD FX6300 is indeed a good processor and that's all you can get in that price bracket with the AM3 socket, replacing with an A-series CPU needs a Mobo replacement as well, have used it a while back it can take out all the I3's with ease and some what go near the I5 mark but not as good as them, But you get to overclock it later. Also suggest you go for a dual channel 2 x 4GB ram kit as it add's more flexibility and can also see you have compromised on the mother board part, the Gigabyte are good Mobo's and should easily help in getting the job done, suggest you check out the Asus's offerings in that range as it comes with...

Graphic card part, its always a user's personal choice, a little homework would get you the right one you always need.

1. i already have 2+4 gb ddr3 1333mhz
if i combine 1600mhz ram will it work?
2. if i buy 2x4gb it will occupy all 4 slots of my mobo. but if i go for one 8gb i'll have one slot for future extension.
3. and what is the benefit of going for 2x4gb?

Mix matching ram is not a good idea. 2x4gb will give you a proper dual channel configuration. If money is an issue, reuse your current ram for now. From the sounds of it, you have a 2gb and a 4gb stick now. You could buy a matching 4gb stick and pull the 2gb, if that is the case. At least then you would have a proper ram configuration.
