A 64 bit system allows OS to utilize more than 3.5 GB of RAM(memory) and the ability to run 64 bit programs(who can utilize more than 1 GB RAM). If you are building a new system with anything better than an i3, go for a 64 bit Windows 8.1.

 

what is the difference between a 32 bit or a 64 bit system

Take it this way: it makes no sense to go for 32 bit in this day and age. In fact I'm not even sure 32bit cpus even exist anymore. I mean even freakin' CELERONS use the 64bit instruction set now: http://ark.intel.com/products/82102/Intel-Celeron-Processor-N2808-1M-Cache-up-to-2_25-GHz

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

If you're building a new system period, you should go with 64bit. 32 is becoming more and more obsolete.

this is my parts list what do reccomend also im going to use windows 7

That motherboard is not very good. You'll want at least a 970 chipset on the AM3+ platform with an FX-6300+. Unfortunately the motherboard options for the mATX form factor should be avoided. You'll want to step up to full ATX to get what you need. Here's a revised build:

 

It's a few more dollars, but much better quality and will allow you to upgrade to the FX-8320 or 8350 8-core in the future if you want.

 

 
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor  ($109.99 @ Newegg) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard  ($74.99 @ Micro Center)

Had to bump the case up to the N300. It looks the same as the N200, but a little bigger to fit the larger full ATX motherboards.
 
Also, keep in mind the stock CPU cooler is "OK" for stock clocks, but make sure you get a better cooler if you ever decide to try overclocking or upgrade to an 8-core.

Ok I don't need a new mother board because I don't plan on doing any over clocking

You mean you don't need an aftermarket CPU cooler. ;)

 

You need a motherboard or your PC won't work. :P

No it is just in my market with my money and it will do because I am NOT going to do any overclocking and also it'll just be for gaming and maybe some recording my PC will

Should be ok then, but the BIOS may need to be updated to work with the FX-6300. Personally I would not trust any AM3+ motherboard below a 970 chip set running the FX-6300 and up. Even if I wasn't planning to overclock. From the research I've done on this platform, I just don't trust the VRM setup on those lower-end boards. But it's up to you. People have run the 6300 on these board and had no trouble.

So do you think I'm ok

I honestly can't say. You might be ok or you might run into problems. That board you have selected is of an older design and chip set. It can only support 1333mhz ram (you have 1600mhz ram selected), that alone shows you how old and limited that board is. I would strongly recommend going with at least something like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-970pro3r20 for about $60.

 

You get 4 ram slots instead of 2 and support for faster ram speeds (including 1600 which is now the 'norm'). You get a much newer design with better quality components and much better/more stable VRM layout, which is very important for these FX CPUs. 

 

It's a little more money and will require a bit larger case (N300 instead of N200), but it's well worth it knowing you're getting newer/better components that will run properly out of the box, allow for easier upgrades and will last longer.

 

You can drop the optical drive if you really don't need it. That will give you about $20 more towards your motherboard and allow you to stay within your budget.
