I'd try to save up for a slightly better graphics card. Another $90 will get you a 280x.

Big boost, yes, but I'd at least aim for something like a 270. Not sure what the go for.

I would consider springing for the 270, should still be below 600, but would net you about 50 bucks more.

 

You should be able to find that 6350 for a bit cheaper, though I don't know where you live.

Do not  as I  do, and  not  as I say. Instead do as you may..

I'm not worried about the GPU for now. I don't play anything that really needs the raw power. As for the mobo, is there a major difference in the chipset?

the 780 or 760 chipsets are trash for the FX CPUs

 

the VRMs are not cooled and they were meant for quad core AMD CPUs

 

they have a higher chance of overheating

 

and some lack USB 3.0 and SATA3
