Beefing up my system, and I'm wondering if I'm leaving too much on the table. Here's a PPP link with what I am currently looking at. The case and PSU are what I'm working around and I'm trying not to raise my budget to much. I would like to stay around $800, that would be for the CPU/MOBO, Video Card, and an SSD. That being said I'm asking what the best CPU/mobo would complement the R9 280X.

Here i did a bit of changing:

Cpu: changed to an amd 6300, it has 4 more cores, which will be good for gaming (only games which use more than two cores) as well as having greater processing power for about the same price.
Cpu Cooler: Isn't exactly needed unless you are overclocking your processor.
Motherboard: Reliable motherboard, never can really go wrong with Asus
Ram: Corsair, did you forget to add that in on your partpicker list? :)
Power supply: got an EVGA on sale :) really nice psu's
Video Card: I replaced the Msi 280x with a Sapphire's 280x but either one is fine :)
