Here are the parts I'm thinking about choosing for it:
AMD FX 8350 4 GHz
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...

ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 Socket AM3+ Motherboard
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...

Corsair Vengence 8 gb x1 1600 MHz DDR3
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...

Seagate ST1000DM003 Barracuda 1TB Hard Drive - 7200RPM
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...

Cooler Master Elite 430 Mid Tower ATX Case
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...

SolidGear 650W Power Supply
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...

How do you all think this build looks? Is there anything that i've selected that's rubbish? Any and all thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated since this is my first solo build. This build pretty much takes up my budget. After next day shipping it comes to $610. But I will consider anything that you all have to tell me. I'm only getting the 1 stick of ram because i plan on adding an identical 8 gb stick later and dual channeling a total of 16gb when i get more money. And I also went with the 1600 MHz because everything i've read says that there's not a huge difference in 1600 and 1866 MHz.

Is it me or is the Graphics Card missing somewhere?

The PSU is total crap. Look for my Guides. Get a better branded PSU. Also get a cheaper motherboard and FX 8320 , and save for a GPU like the GTX 650Ti Boost. Once you add it , you will have a nice. gaming rig.

^ May I add, look for the "80+" sign when choosing a PSU. Doesn't have it? don't buy it, that simple.

Can anybody suggest a decent PSU? Preferably from tigerdirect.com just because i can get it all shipped together with the 1 day shipping. Thanks and would like to stick to a psu near the same cost as this one. How many watts would i need for this rig? The graphics card is missing because i'm not purchasing one right now. I have another one that i'm going to use until i can get a sapphire 7870

I think TigerDirect is too expensive. Atleast in the PSU case. Here's a much better , XFX 550W PSU which will not end up blowing your system.

I don't think i can use that psu because of the lack of 8 pin cpu connector for the mobo

LOL WHAT !!!!!!!!! It has a 4+4 ATX 12v Pin connector. Also a 8pin connector works on 4 pin , as long as you don't OC.
