This is my first time building a CPu an i would like feedback on my choices
CPU=AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
GPU=Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB Video Card
RAM=Team Elite 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
MotherBoard=ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Case=Enermax ECA3290A-G ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU= Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
budgets is 600 dollars
 
If it is for gaming i would go with i3 4160
change your GPU for GTX 750/Ti
get 2x 4gb ram for dual channel
change you motherboard to B85 with all connectors that you need
you dont need 600w for this PC 400w will be fine and get better quality PSU than CX series. Tier 1 and 2 are quality PSUs http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

You can aslo tell us your budget. its hard to suggest parts when you dont know the budget
