First Gaming Rig EVER

So I am building my very first PC (hooray) and it's costing me a little over $800 which i didnt think was bad. Here are the specs for the machine, lemme know what you guys think! Feedback will be greatly appreciated :)

• AMD FX-8350 8-Core Processor Black Edition
• ASRock Z77 Pro 4 Motherboard
• 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
• Zalman Z11 Plus Case
• EVGA GeForce GTX670 2048MB GDDR5 256bit, 2x Dual-Link DVI, HDMI, DP, 4-Way SLI Ready Graphics Card (02G-P4-2670-KR)
• Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory 
• Corsair Hydro Series Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H100i
• Corsair Professional Series  HX 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold (HX750)

This is my first build so I wasn't going to go over $1000. Let me know what you guys think? I'm getting really good deals for these parts at Microcenter hence why the price :). 

Try to fit a 770 instead of a 670 in there.

The main advantage of Microcenter versus any other store is there CPU/motherboard bundle (prices are cheap). The CPU/motherboard are together in a bundle so im really confused as to how you got a Z77 motherboard with an AMD CPU (see the links below)

I built my first PC a few months back so I know it's exciting!  Congratulations.  Don't forget to budget for an OS!  I did. hahah

The guys here all gave me great advice so I'd say to listen to their suggestions like the PSU (I have a 650W) and RAM (I have 8gb, more wont hurt, but not necessary unless you know you need it for certain programs).  I also went with the i5 3570K that was recommended to you.  I knew next to NOTHING about computers a year ago (don't know much more now) but I still managed to Overclock that CPU to 4.2 Ghz.  I don't notice any real difference for the tasks I do on my computer, but it's awesome knowing I did it hahaha

I'd also suggest an SSD.  I have Windows on mine and my computer boots so fast compared to what I have had in the past and what I have to use at work.

Good Luck.

Interesting, they sold me the motherboard and CPU as a bundle from there

thanks for the tips guys, im heading there now to swap to the 3570k

] Even better :oCptJSparrow

well i got the 3570k. I'll look into the gtx 770 and see if it'll be in my budget, i mean christmas and my birthday are right around the corner too :D so i could always get some more parts eventually. i really appreciate the advice everyone. Im tired of gaming on my alienware M14x...I'll be using that as a second gaming pc for my roommate the upcoming semester.

No point buying a 670 unless it's much cheaper than a 760 since the 760 is cheaper and generally matches it in performance (most 760s are overclocked). Or get a 770.
