get a 8320 and overclock it to the 8350 standards. And if you want a sli/crossfire board get something higher like a 990fx.

Wanna hang out with me and people like @Theslsamg, @ Ssoele, @BENTHEREN, @Lanoi, @Whiskers, @_ASSASSIN_, @Looney, @WunderWuffle, and @nsyedhasan. Well.... Check out: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/48484-unofficial-linustechtips-teamschnitzel-server-teamspeak/

I believe crossfire still has terribad frame time problems, and adding a 270x in the future in crossfire will do very little to improve your actual in game noticeable frame rates. Unfortunately for now SLI is the only good option if you want several cards for gaming.

Look good...but on the case the side panel to small of a visible window for me...i rather go for Corsair C70

I forgot to mention gonna need full backlit on keyboard but your mouse choice is good

Looks and peripherals are subjective. Pick whatever you'd like.
