Hi all, I'm new to this PC build but here is my setup. I'm open to critics and opinion.

ASRock Fatal1ty 990x killer
Amd FX 6100
MSI radeon r7 260x
Cooler master gx 650w
Corsair vengeance 2x4gb
Seagate barracuda 2tb

Someone please point me the right direction.

ASRock motherboards are OK, but I think it's worth to go for motherboard like MSI, GIGABYTE, or ASUS.

The FX 6100 has newer versions: FX-6300, so it's always better to go with this one.

The GPU is good for the build but it's probably better to go for R9 270/270X or GTX 760.

The PSU you chose is fine.

Corsair makes best RAM IMO, and 8GB running in dual-channel is very fast.

Seagate is one of the top HDD makers, so it's a good choice.

Thank you so much for giving me the advice. I really need it. Is there any motherboard you can recommend that had same price range like the ASRock fatal1ty 990x killer?

It's too big for the case. Just get a Cooler Master Hyper EVO 212, it's still a very good choice and will give excellent cooling.
