Nope. Please don't go with FX 8350. They are old, horrible performance compared to i5/i7 for almost same money.

The PSU is nothing special too. You don't need an ODD too. Most OS/Windows can install w/o an optical drive

Ditch the Radeon SSD for something from PNY that is a bit cheaper. If you're willing to buy some parts used, CPU's, coolers, even RAM potentially are easy ways to cut costs due to low failure rate.
