New Gaming Build Opinions please?

Here is the set up:

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory
XFX Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card
Corsair Builder 500W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply

My budget is $500-600 (already have case and monitor)

Get regular speed (1600mhz) RAM to save money. It will perform basically exactly the same.
I recommend the xfx 550w PSU over the corsair cx500.
Get a cheaper motherboard ($80-$90)
Get a gtx660 or hd 7870 with the saved money.

The Corsair CX 500 is more than enough for either of the cards and performs great.

I agree with the other options, and a 7870XT would complete this build perfectly.

This is a good recommendation. Purchasing DDR3-2133 memory is a pointless expense.
