Only problem in this build is that it has 1 stick of RAM. Change it to 2 sticks of 4 GB each and it would be the best one. I don't have time for it. Will be back in a few minutes.

If you don't want a hard drive then add that money to both cpu and gpu equally. I think you will be able to get an FX 8320 and GTX 760 then. Try if you can. Otherwise also this is a great build.

The build is fine except psu, go xfx.

Also, you don't need that much wattage for a 650 and i7 combo. Everything in the build in compatible and will fit in the case. I can't provide much advice on the build without knowing what is going to be used for (gaming?modeling?web browsing?).

a top end processor matched with a low middle range graphics card gives you low middle range graphics performance .

Use a cheaper processor , a dual channel RAM kit , and a graphics card with some heavy lifting capacity
