Hello all, I'm new to building computers and need a bit of advice on my build. My budget is somewhere around $1000-$1200. Any sort of advice is welcome, whether it be your own build, changing something, or whatever.
A Couple notes: I plan on upgrading parts in the future, so keeping a full ATX motherboard and ATX case is helpful. I only went with AMD FX-6300 for the CPU because it was cheeper and it's a ok CPU for the price, but I would like to overclock in the future as well; not in the near future though. So going with Intel isn't out of the ballpark.

The build is made on PCPartPicker.com so I didn't have much trouble with compatibility, but universal algorithms aren't the most trust worthy. Thank you for your time! Below are both a link to my build on PCPartPicker.com and a fully typed out build.

Once again, thank you!
 
I wouldn't go with an FX cpu right now at all:

by swapping from your expensive tower to a less expensive model, along with a better psu, I was able to put in an i5 and an overclock capable motherboard (via BCLK Overclock). the RAM will only rin at 2133, but it was cheaper than any actual 2133 ram
