^ pretty good but spend a little more on a better mother board, you could get a cheaper keyboard an get a 990FX motherboard, the 8 cores are much happier on them (all of the 990fx bar the asrock extreme 3)

i put a cheaper mouse and keyboard in for you, an ditched the os as you said you didn't need one, upped the ram to 1866mhz and put a better mobo in for you

that has a better cpu cooler for Overclocking too

Yeah I agree with Tripp, you want to get a 990FX motherboard if you're going with AM3+ and want to overclock and 8-core.
Yet another option, just to add to confusion.

The keyboard and mouse aren't up to much, but it allowed me to step the CPU up to an FX-8350.

i wouldn't use EVO drives for OS's the memory type they are, means they have a higher chance of death if they take a lot of reading an writing constantly

I've had more corsair drives fail on me then EVOs. The higher chance of death is a bit overblown as long as you remember to back up your OS. If OP would be THAT worried about this I'd say get a Toshiba ssd or a Kingston SSD as they are around the same price.

isn't it just writing?

It is just writing. It will still last over 5 years on average consumer use.

You could probably make it last longer by taking all the os writing an cashing to the hdd, still do that myself but would still personally go for another ssd for an os

I honestly would go for a 280x over a 770 at the moment as they seem to be slightly cheaper.

Very true. Just for the peace of minds sake getting a non tlc drive for the OS would be my choice. Still recommend it though for storage!
I would go for the 280x over a 770 in general anyways.
Though in the US they are about $100 cheaper and the 770 is as expensive as a 290 so i guess my perspective is based off of that fact. Still the performance is so close that if the 280x is cheaper mine as well get it. Overclock it
