My first gaming PC build

[Tomographic]

My budget is around $700 dollars and for my first time build; this is what I have come up with -

CPU: AMD FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

GPU: GIGABYTE Radeon R9 270X

Ram: G.SKILL 8GB (2x4GB) Ripjaws X Series

MoBo: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970

1TB HD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Case: NZXT Phantom 240

Your feedback is appreciated and I would love to hear any recommendations you guys may have!

Thank you.

Drop the 8350 to an 8320 apart from that is looks pretty solid personally I would change the case but that's just me.

I would get an 8320 and overclock it instead of an 8350 and use the extra money on an SSD. Other than that very solid part choices

8320 and cheaper case and then spend more money on better GPU like r9 280

Try to get the M5A97 EVO R2.0

Drop to 8320 and use the extra money for 280, it'll be worth it. As for SSD, save money and add one later

 

Also, i like the case So i think you don't need to change it

Thanks everyone! Some really useful feedback there. Will definitely make the change from the 8350 to the 8320. Really appreciate your consideration

Much better Gaming rig, under budget...add an SSD if you have some left over or pick a different case:
