970-chipset boards run a slower hypertransport buss than the 990X or 990FX, so I'd keep that.
Keep in mind that a FX-8320 will need to be overclocked to match the performance of a stock i5 in most titles, and it will then suck down a lot more power and run a lot hotter.
Use the HyperTX3 since it looks like you have it already. Otherwise, Cryorig, Noctua, Phanteks make better coolers than the Hyper EVO, and many others make similar coolers that are cheaper.
I don't know how tight your budget is, but if possible you'll want a larger SSD (250GB-256GB), and a better one than the Kingston; look at Samsung, Crucial, or even Mushkin.

Run a 212 Evo or Cryoig cooler.

Change the motherboard for a GA-970A-UD3P or 970 Gaming. This will allow you to overclock that 8320 nearly 1 GHz to its full potential. At stock speeds, it'll hold you back in some games.

Use a higher quality power supply if running a 390. MAKE SURE TO ADD CASE FANS!!!

Other options would be an i5-4460 and basic H97 motherboard, if that fits into your budget.

im not too familiar with ssds, what exactly does increasing the storage exactly do? like is the boot times/loadtimes that much faster with a 100gb difference ?
