Will you be overclocking? If yes then add a heatsink to your build. Also a $180 mobo makes no sense.
If not then may I suggest this Intel build.
It is more efficient than the 8350.

OP's GPU cannot be crossfired nor SLI'd. His next GPU upgrade 100% WILL be to a fast single graphics card, no matter what board. It's pure logical thinking.

true damric.. your buid is best and 660 is kinda weak and i have not heard such great things about the 960

i think the best bang for your buck is probably going to be a a good deal on a r9 290 for some time
