I am going to build a PC for my first time and I need some help choosing parts. I read over these and they seem like they will work well but I would like for someone else to read over it to make sure. I am 15 so even if these parts are going to work it will take me a few months to gather enough money to purchase them. I also have a few questions.
1. Is building a PC something that is hard or semi-easy?
2. Will all of the parts come with the cables needed to hook them up to the motherboard and what not?
3. Is it possible that I take my current hard drive off of my PC and put it on my new one and transfer my game files and stuff.
4. I'm unsure about the PSU I will need but I think a CORSAIR CX series CX500M 500W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC CP-9020059-NA Power Supply will do.

Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 - High Air Flow Mid Tower Computer Case

Processor: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W FD8350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor

Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Hard Drive to Use for Boot Up: SanDisk ReadyCache SDSSDRC-032G-G26 2.5" 32GB SATA III for Windows 7 and Windows 8 -based PCs

Mother Board: MSI X99S Gaming 7 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Graphics Card: MSI R7 370 GAMING 4G Radeon R7 370 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support ATX Video Card

Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A2133C11R (Red)

I'm going to note that these parts are the exact title of what they are called on Newegg.com so if you need to look them up it should be fairly easy. If you have any question please ask me as I am willing to answer them to the best of my abilities! ~Punchofdeath

i changed your mobo to one that wont have compatibility issues, changed the ram to match your mobo, added a great cpu cooler for a cheap price and i changed your ssd from 32GB to 120GB in 4$

Ok guys, I have been researching back and fourth all day and I believe I have made the rig as cheap as I can get it but with the performance I desire. Also can someone please tell me if a BIOS update is easy to perform? I'm super happy with the parts that are on the list but I need to know only about the BIOS and if everything is good to how I like it then I will go ahead and start ordering parts 1 piece at a time. Also I must ask can I use my hard drive in my current PC and put it in the new one to get my old files and everything? If I could that would be great

I would certainly not buy Windows from reddit. Those keys are Technet, student or corporate licenses and not authorized for resale. If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Posting links to those keys violates the Tom's terms of service you agree to when you post here so please don't let it happen again. Legally it's the same as telling someone to pirate the OS.

Just saying if you were allowed to put up Windows keys and stuff to Reddit there's no way I would buy it as it isn't an official Windows product. Also on my parts list I have a Windows 7 that is free and has a lot of good reviews but there is no way to buy it.. Is it just a scam like thing or can I actually use it?

if you dont see the price on pcpartpicker it doesnt mean its free.. it just means that the site doesnt know any site who sells this product so he doesnt know what the price is..
