Egad! A $300 AM3+ mobo! No. Just...no.

You should get some Intel processor. But please answer [thread=80121]these questions[/thread] so we can be more specific.

Yeah, if you're going for a gaming build, Intel is the way to go for performance. You can get an Intel i5 4690k for cheaper than that AMD FX, which will perform better.

Also, that motherboard is really overkill. You can get this ASUS Z97 motherboard for $123 for a 4690k

Pretty much all modern motherboards that I know of come with onboard audio, btw. So if you don't need super high quality audio for music recording or anything, then it's plenty.

That RAM is not needed either. Can get Crucial 16GB (2x8GB) for $50 cheaper.

I notice you didn't add a CPU Cooler. This Coolermaster 212 Evo would be great for a modest overclock on the 4690k.

Cases are subjective, but that cheap one you linked doesn't seem like a good pick imo. I purchased this Corsair 200r for my spouse and it's been a great cheaper case.

Some people have really bad experience with the CX line from Corsair with power supplies, but my spouse has a CX600 in his and it's been working great. Another option would be the EVGA 650W Supernova.

That hard drive is a HUGE waste of money. Get yourself a SSD, like this 250GB Samsung 850 EVO and a 1TB WD Blue HDD with it for extra games and media storage, and you'll be way under the price of that junk HD you linked. Plus, you'll get WAY faster performance because of the SSD. Velociraptors have a huge fail rate anyways.

Your video card is a good choice for 1080p gaming. It's a rebrand of an older card, though. If you wanted to go Nvidia, I think a GTX 970 would be about the same price and performance. The AMD has a lot more VRam, though.

If you need that wireless network card and can't use a wired connection with the onboard network port, then okay. But be sure you have an 802.11ac router that can take advantage of it. Otherwise, it's kind of a waste.

Your monitor is alright. Some people think 27 inches at 1080p is too much and that 24 inches is the max you should go with 1080p, or else it starts to look a little blurry. If you're going to be a little far away from the monitor, then it's good. If not, I would recommend this one BenQ Gaming Monitor RL2455HM (24-Inch LED). It also has 1ms compared to the 2ms the one you linked had, so it'll have slightly less input lag, which is great for fast paced gaming.

Your initial build is about $1,668 before taxes/shipping. The one I recommended is $1,018 (took out the sound card as well), plus it'd perform a lot better.
