Hey guys, I am planning on building a computer within the next month or so and have been looking at other people's guides for computers around this price. I have come up with this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Pxx3Bm. I plan on gaming with it and some slight video editing but please tell me what you think, I personally would like to stick with AMD for upgradibily and am will to spend about 750 plus or minus $50 and will buy from Newegg and Amazon only. I live in a state where there is sales tax on this two sites too. If you would like to know anything else please ask.
How does ~$700 PC build look?

Corsair CX is very poor.
You can get FX-8310 for cheaper than FX-6300:

instead of buying the parts now, save up some more. That way you can get an SSD, and be happy with 2133 mhz memory.

That is a great Intel build. That is a great price on the 2133mhz RAM, but since it's 1.65v, it will automatically downclock to 1600mhz @ 1.5v.
You could save some money by going with an ASRock Pro4 H97 or even H97 Anniversary and an i5 4460. Drop the disc drive, get a slightly cheaper case and you've got enough for a ssd.

You are set! And when you gain some more time with the machine, and money, lol... You can buy a 4690k and overclock it if you want, or get a stronger GPU. Otherwise, you are set for a while! Best of luck building your PC, and Have fun
