Building a gaming PC using AMD FX 8350 Processor

[GambitRules]

Hey guys,I am trying to build a gaming PC and I don't have much knowledge about the hardware (or software for that matter).I have shortlisted the components and would like to know if I have made right selections.I WON'T BE OVERCLOCKING so please suggest me components which are good enough in stock form and I wan't to build my PC around the AMD FX 8350 processor.Will my selected processor,motherboard or GPU bottleneck each other ? Please help.

AMD FX 8350 Processor
MSI 990FXA-GD65 V2 Motherboard
Asus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 TI OC 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB)
Coolermaster GX 550W PSU

GX isn't such a good PSU.
If no overclocking then get an i5 build. The FX's isn't much powerful without overclock.
Get 2X4 GB Ram. Dual channel would be faster than a single one.

You don't need to spend over $100 on a motherboard for that kind of build. You would be better served by a better GPU and a more reliable PSU. Also, I would add an aftermarket heatsink/fan assembly to the FX-8350, the stock cooler is poor. Here is my suggested build:

Very good build.
I prefer INTEL CPU's but for the budget this is likely the best choice.

Please note there are THREE FREE GAMES to redeem for the R9-270X as well. That Asus was my top choice for value.

Also, you'll want Windows 8.1 64-bit OEM (about $90. use pcpartpicker ) and I suggest Start8.

Yes, that motherboard can support the FX-8350 CPU. However, you must have BIOS version 1401 or greater:

Direct download of BIOS:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM3+/M5A88-M/M5A88-M-ASUS-1702.zip

Which means that you need the BIOS updated before the FX-8350 will be usable. So if you have another processor currently, be sure to update the BIOS before installing the FX-8350 or it will not be detected by the mobo and you won't be able to boot.
