Feedback on mid-level PC build

[LarsenMK]

Hi guys!

I'm looking to build a new system, as my old got stolen during a LAN last weekend.

Please give me feedback and/or improvements. There is a bit of room left in the budget, but I think below build as a good money for value.

CPU: AMD fx 8350
CPU cooler: CM hyper 212 evo
Mobo: MSI 970 gamer
GPU: MSI R9 390 8G
RAM: 4x 4gb G.Skill Ripjaws X 2133
SSD: 240gb Kingston v300
HDD: 2tb 7200rpm WD Black series
Case: Antec P280 White(w/ window)
PSU: Corsair vs650

I'm in doubt about the PSU, what's your thoughts?

Also considering getting the MSI gtx970 4gb GPU instead of the 390!

Thanks for any advice!

odd choices...

What budget you want to stick to? There are way better options, this build is all over the place if you want it for gaming.

The PC will primarily be used for gaming and the budget is 700-900USD

good bones, with a bit of wiggle room for fans and such, even change the case if its not to your liking.

it is always better to get the things that add directly to fps first, and leave things like ssd for later.
