So does this look like a good cheap build to just so some casual gaming on. Plan to buy a gtx 980 or 1060 used. I also have ddr3 ram and a ssd. The prices is in NOK=norske kroner(norway) this would be my first build so I plan to use it kind of for training.

There's no point in getting am3 platform. It's outdated..also the 8*** series chips run pretty hot.

I'd rather suggest u to go with ryzen...

As stated above, FX8000 series is old and outdated. FX8350 will heavily bottleneck 980 or 1060. Trust me, I had FX8350 running in my old build at 5Ghz and it wasn't able to catch up with RX480 Nitro+. I suggest saving more money and going with  Ryzen 3 or 5. Black Friday isn't far away, you might get some nice deals.

FX isnt suited for gaming. For the same price, even Haswell i5s do better.
