Drop the optical drive unless your planning to actually use it beyond windows install... Also, check out reddit for legitimate Win 8 at good price ($15)

 

You should be able to get an i5 on that budget.. Also the CX is not great at all, look at EVGA B2 or GS

 

Why buying all from newegg?

I don'T PreSS caPs.. I juST Hit THe keYboARd so HarD iT CriTs :P

 

Quote or @dzzope to get my attention..

I seriously don't suggest wireless. Ethernet is best. Powerline is acceptable.

Rest in Pepperoni

Not sure if that Mobo is good for FX-8350 unless the web-page says so and then its not even sure you can OC it. If you have no OC plan and the page says its fine then it should be safe. Also a 960? WHY?! Get a 280, 280X or 380 4GB they are all better picks! :(
