I would recommend getting two 8gb sticks of ram so you can get the dual channel. For your drives, youll most likely never use a whole TB of data, much less 2. You should get a 1TB hardrive and upgrade your ssd to 240gb, as 120 will go away in a flash. I'm using thre msi 970 right now, and it's working great, I think the geforce one is good too.

No, it's okay.. But, the main cons of the build are the processor, motherboard, and the power supply. (Possibly the SSD? I thought it was one of the slower ones.. I like sticking with Crucial and Samsung)
I'd try to get an I5-4440/4460/ Cheapest I5 4___ there is, combined with an H97 motherboard. The FX 9590 is overpriced and requires a pricy cpu cooler to keep it cool. The motherboard, on the other hand, is one of the low-end 970 socket ones and I would definitely not recommend it for an FX 8320/8350/9___.. The power supply isn't that good. Stick with XFX , Seasonic, or whatever that's tier 1 and 2A on this list.

16gb isn't needed, unless you are video editing and plan on doing some heavy multitasking.
EDIT : Also, you may be interested in SLI'ing, so you could also get a good cheap Z97 motherboard.
