H60 is a waste. Hyper 212 EVO will be better, or get one of the newer SKUs with the updated stock cooler: Wraith. It is actually really good.

If buying a new CPU for gaming, go with intel i5, costs around same as . PSU as said above is of average quality.

SPGamer007's build is much much better than the one you asked about for about the same price. There is no reason to go with an AMD FX CPU and a liquid cooler. The i5 games much better and will run cool on it's stock cooler.
The money you were going to spend on a liquid cooler makes the FX system just as expensive as an i5 system and it will perform worse.
The 390 he put in took it to a much better gaming performance level too. The 960 is similar to the 380 and the 390 puts them both to shame.

It's not that you can't use the 8350 (my backup is still a 8150 and a 770 which have been doing just fine), but if I were building a new rig I would go with an Intel build. Better performance vs power consumption without having to overclock. If you can make room in your budget to afford the 6th gen CPU skus, it's probably worth doing to extend the life of this system. I am more of an Nvidia fan, but cost vs performance you're probably better off with that 390. That 960 is close to the performance of the 770 I am using and it's handling everything I throw at it with a grin.
You have to decide whether you want to spend the money once and live with it for awhile (my philosophy) or buy what you need now and upgrade as you go.

Thank you for all the awnsers.
I have taken all your suggestions into account and I have edited my parts.

You may see the changes for yourself.
So nervous to pick one as the solution because all of them helped me really well.
And also will there be a fan with the processor and do I need the additional fan for the processor?

That looks good aside from the PSU. You don't need an aftermarket fan unless noise is a big concern, the processor comes with a fan that cools, well, adequately.

Here are so more tweaks:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/P4NPMp
I wouldn't recommend going with a micro-atx motherboard unless you need it for a smaller case. I also upgraded your PSU quality to the CS series (better internal components, better warranty). It's your call on RAM speed - a 1600 will run stock without any overclocking, an 1866 will require you to run an XMP profile to function at that speed. Also, switched to a slightly larger case to support a higher profile CPU fan.
