First time build and builder

[Mehul Bhatnagar]

So I want to try and build my first gaming pc and my parents have already agreed to it so I wanted to know if my first build is a good one http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3bdhI I don't know that much about computers and I have never built one before so I would need help with that so pls any changes or new suggestions are good I have $800 budget...

I don't see an operating system in there. You should be able to budget an FX 8320 into the build at 800$ otherwise you messed up

This is what I would build on your budget it has se better parts than your original build and includes an OS
