I have a couple questions...

• WHAT IS THE CHIPSET for the FD8320FRHKBOX CPU?
  
• is there any cheap 8gb ddr5 RAM? (just wondering because that is what the ps4 has)
  
• Also is there any better case for cheaper?

Nobody knows how the next generation of consoles will perform and how much they will cost so it's impossible to tell.

GDDR5 is vRAM for the graphics card. You need DDR3 RAM, and that's the AM3+ chipset.

 

I would suggest an i3 processor over the 8320 so that you have some upgrade room, and the latest DDR4.

first of all cry, ddr5 cry, sorry, you can not buy ddr5, ddr5 is the stuff in gpus, ddr3 & 4 are in ram and that cpu is am3+

You can do much better than a 750ti. 

(Also you need DDR3 ram)

IMO this'll be better value for money

Reconsider pretty much most of your setup.

 

This is probably not the best I could come up with, but this will do if you're willing to spend a bit more.

This is also a strong contender but I prefer the other list just because of the R9 380.

I really wanted a system that had more than 2 cores for cheap so i went with AMD but everyone bashes it.  WHY?

Current AMD products have low IPC and generally inefficient when compared to Intel's latest offerings, even with "less" cores.

there is basically no upgrade path for the 8320, getting something better will require you getting a new board, otherwise it is still the best option. I think it's fine considering you are going to end up with a really cheap board anyways. Whatever you do go with a 380, the 370 was a flop. If you are willing to go for old parts look at a 7950/7970, the 7970 is slightly better than the 380 2GB. The 7950 is not quite as good. The 380 does have advantages like better power efficiency, higher clock speeds and more VRAM if you go for the 4GB.
