What would be the main purpose of this build? Gaming, video/sound editing, 3D modelling, etc?

Well, I think getting Intel is a better option right now, AMD is way too far behind.

but also 

Things to do:

Ground yourself every minute(That's some expensive components), you can do so by touching a plugged in power supply(off) or touching a huge piece of metal(Your Case is an great example).

Don't stand on a carpet.

I would replace that FX 8350 for i5 4690k.

Get intel, it's such a better option. An i5-4460 would outperform that 8350. Everything else looks fine

Go with a 128gb SSD. Put your OS on there and use the HDD for everything else. Put games with long load times on the SSD though.

Like i was planning to do that but also was going to put my Adobe Creative Suite C6 on the SSD so I just feel like that extra room is nice
