That motherboard isn't going to handle an 8 core very well, I would get the R9 270 instead of the 270X

Is it like just you don't like the design or is the components bad.

no, dont get me wrong, the components are as good or as bad as other brands, but for 8cores i'd invest a bit more in the motherboard + i dont like it, i tried to say that you should get another board. :-)

What do you guys think about this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2IDlV ?

It's fine but the 270X is the same chip as the 270, just a higher clock. Also I would get a stronger board, it may have problems with the FX-8350's large TDP, especially if you play to overclock. :)

8+2 power phases, heatsinked, supports 125w tdp. its essentially 970 ud3, just newer and different color. best mobo for the money. the only reason he would want better board is features like crossfire and sli support, connectors, etc...  some 990 mobos are worse than this mobo.

cx power supplys are fine, but id rather blow a little more for xfx or seasonic...
