Pretty good, why go for the 1 stick of RAM? Dual channel is better

I'd consider an aftermarket cooler for that CPU if you want to over clock.

If you can afford the $60 an SSD is an excellent addition.

You can probably get away with a 600 watt power supply.

One stick of RAM is good if you plan to upgrade to 16gb later.

 

I'd also recommend a CPU cooler and an SSD

 

A single stick is good if the motherboard can only take two sticks. But the M5A9FX Pro is an ATX board with four memory slots. Two memory modules in dual channel mode will perform better than a single stick which has to run in single channel..

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Get a different cooler. I have the Thermalright Macho Rev. A on my 8350 and it keeps my cpu very cool. As of writing this, I have Battlelog for battlefield 4, 25 other tabs, Skype, spotify, and origin open and my cpu temp is 20 degrees Celsius. 

Space is pretty awesome.

Tell me if you think my build is good. Cpu- Amd Fx 8350  Cpu cooler- Stock cooler  Gpu- Gtx 780/r9 290  Motherboard- Asus m5a99fx pro  Ram- Corsair vengeance 1x 8gb DDR3 1600  Power supply- Cx750m  Hard drive- WD blue 1tb 7200rpm  tell me what you think about the build.  

 

Everything is good, the Stock AMD cooler isnt that great but it isnt that good, if you have a big case i would recommend a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo. Its cheap and it cools good, but you need the room in your case. Upgrade RAM later and you would be good to go xD
