Looks good, maybe push for 990FX board and Corsair CX500M. Buy a Hyper 212 EVO later on and OC that CPU. (Only if you get 990FX)

It's just a litle over 530 but it's worth it
you shouldn't get a gtx6xx because they're old. this is the best time to buy a amd card
 
what do you think?
 
and please don't choose a i3. it's not meant for gaming

what ? and he should,its better 

1. it's only dual core. games started using more that two cores for some time.

2. it's intel so if you want a intel cpu, get an i5 or an i7 because the i3 it's meant for htpcs

3. you can't overclock it so you won't be able to boost it's performance once you think that you need more performance

4. if you'll ever render or edit any video, you'll notice why you need more cores. or even some everyday multitasking

 

anything else?:)

*with hyperthreading.leave the htpc for the celerons. you don`t know what are you talking about.you have to oc the 6300 to catch an i3.so way more heat,power and more expensive mobo.everyday multitasking is fine even with celerons,its the HDD who holds you back there.
