These are my parts that I will use:

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ATX AM3+/AM3
RAM: Kingston Fury Black Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X 3GB WINDFORCE
Case: Cooler Master N600 Windowed ATX Mid Tower
PSU: Corsair 600W ATX12V

Do these parts work well together? Will the cpu bottleneck the graphics card? Will I have enough power? Please give me some advice on how I can improve on this build.

The parts work good together. If you are unsure of compatibility in the future, try pcpartpicker.com. You CPU will not bottleneck your Graphics card. Also, you will have plenty of power.

Thanks for the reply, I actually used PCpartpicker to create this build. I was just double checking. Also, is it worth upgrading from the fx 8320 to the fx 8350? Thanks.
