1st PC I build, looking for advice on parts

[LeetLawrence]

Hey guys! I'm looking into building a PC and haven't done it before. I selected some parts that I was hoping some of you folks out there can take a look at and maybe give me some advice if I can swap a part for a better one at a similar or cheaper price. I also want to see if they're compatible with each other. Here is what I have chosen until now. I haven't bought anything yet though.

If you're in USA, replace the .com to .ca from the NewEgg link.

The power supply is overkill for your build.

If your only planning on running one 7950 , this is plenty ^

With the money saved on the power supply get this SSD instead of the ADATA


With the money saved from the PSU switch , you get a better board , and a top of the line SSD.

Get this 990 board in place of the ASUS you had listed.


Everything else looks good.

So the ASRock Extreme3 is better than the ASUS M5A97 R2.0? What about the ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168131318510)? It caught my eye today. Switched the PSU to this: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104169
Thanks for the help

SR-71 is correct with the PSU suggestion. I would not go with the FSP. Years ago myself and some other computer people (not nerds, just users) had problems with FSP. PSU is no where to skimp on money nor quality. Rest of you build looks o.k., but consider SR-71's suggestions.
