Hello everyone!
So I looked around the forum, and found a ~$1000 build. I added some parts to it and need advices before I order everything...

CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($179.99 @ Microcenter)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.98 @ Outlet PC)
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($84.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: PNY 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($57.99 @ Best Buy)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.98 @ Outlet PC)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card ($399.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Inwin GT1 White ATX Mid Tower Case ($63.75 @ Newegg)
Case Fan: Cooler Master SickleFlow 69.7 CFM 120mm Fan ($2.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: XFX 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($49.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer ($14.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $944.64

I'm wondering:
1- Is there a better Motherboard to replace the one listed above? I saw the reviews and seems like there're a lot of angry customers out there.
2- Is there other vital accessories else I need to get, like chipset cooler? Screen, keyboard, and mouse are ready.
3- Should I get one of those bracelet thingy (yay me and my professional vocab) to build this computer?
Much thanks in advance!!!!<3 <3 <3

It will work, its a power hungry pc, but it will rock your world in gaming.

YES, get the bracalet thing.

And while i love your setup i have to tell you, You would actually game better with an Intel Cpu.

You mean an anti static band? :p order one unless your confident on keeping yourself grounded without one, like having the power supply plugged in and keep touching the metal to discharge yourself.

It's probably worth the peace of mind for like what $5-6 over there I'd guess?
