Drop that CPU for the FX 8350, the FX9xxx series were another flop on AMD's side and this FX 8350 that I have is a beast, buying a 9 Series is a waste of money and time.

For the GPU, get the R9 series as they are looking in great shape right now.

As for the rest of the build, it looks pretty solid! (Just don't plan to crossfire another GPU as that will overload the PSU)

Alright thanks much guys. I think I'll be getting this however i'll be waiting a while until I actually purchase it. So if anyone has a build under $900 and is specifically made for gaming, I would appreciate if you suggested it! :)

Lower the cpu to 8xxx or 6xxx and upgrade your gpu to the R9 270x,280x or 290x

The 270x is just abit more powerful than the GTX 660. In terms of comparisons.

Alright, so I was planning on getting the  FX-8320 CPU (3.50ghz eight-core), but now because of price changes I might be getting the FX-6300 (3.50ghz six-core). I'll without a doubt be getting the R9 270x GPU in this build.

So what I'm wondering is if there is too much of a performance gap between the two? By that I mean will the 6300 slow my performance down to the point that I would be wasting my money getting an R9 270x? I just want to make sure I don't wreck my build with the 6300.

The 6300 will not bottleneck your GPU it SHOULD/WILL perform normally.

I'm getting a build very similar to this and it should be able to run battlefield 4 on ultra at a smooth 60-80 fps for comparison reasons.

The build I am getting (Gonna upgrade some parts) My parents won't let me build one :(

should really try to convince them. it's insanely easy to do(i built one when I was like 13 with ease) and you'd be able to get much better
Please don't PM me regarding bans or anything having to do with in-game situations. Only PM me if you've been told I am the only one who can solve your issue.

Alright I ordered the 8320 and the R9 270x. Figured I would rather be safe than sorry. The extra cores shouldn't hurt. I bought the parts and they should be here by Friday. So case closed I guess.

Thanks everyone for pitching in their thoughts, you guys made it much easier  :)
ok
