First build: seeking advice!

[ryanfl]

First post about my first build! I'm seeking advice and opinions from the knowledgeable peeps here. I want to see what you guys think of this build, and what suggestion you have. Any bit of advice is welcomed and appreciated.

Should be noted:
Monitor is currently a 47" in. TV.
Setup will be used for mostly gaming and internet surfing.
Trying to stay under $800 budget.

Setup:

CPU - AMD FX-8320 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition

Board - Gigabyte AM3+ AMD DDR3 1333 760G Micro ATX

PSU - Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS - dedicated single +12V rail - Universal AC input from 90~264V.

GPU - XFX AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB GDDR5

Case - Gigabyte GZ-F3HEB

Memory - Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (1x8 GB Module) 1600MHz 240-pin DDR3 Non-ECC CL10 Desktop Memory KHX1600C10D3B1/8G

Dedicated StarTech 7.1 audio card and Windows 7 64-bit System Builder

Reusing my current optical drive and hard drive. Hard drive is 320GB at 7,200 RPM.

I'm at $731.60 total right now; all on Amazon. I like my two day shipping. Did I forget anything? Any suggestions where I could save money without compromising performance? Any suggestions at all?

Can I bump? How about a Gigabyte R9 270 for the GPU? Game-debate says its just about equal to the HD 7870. Anyone have personal experience with it?

I'm trying to save money because I have a new baby. New baby sleeps mostly through the night now. She goes to bed with my wife at 9. Wife who is totally cool with me building this PC =)

Drop the processor to a FX-6300.
Up the motherboard to a 970 chipset (ASRock 970 Pro3, Asus M5A97 R2.0, or Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P).
Change the psu to the XFX 550w.
If the R9-270 is cheaper than the 7870, then grab it. The 7870, R9-270, and R9-270X all perform within a 5fps difference. Nothing too big.
As stated, go for 2x4gb for dual channel ram.
You might want a different case as Gigabyte cases are low quality. The Bitfenix Shinobi Window is $50 at Newegg which is a great quality case. There's also the Corsair 230T for $40 at Newegg, which is a great price for a good airflow case.
