specify which games you're talking about. Different games have different demands on your system.

Do not get that board. It has known VRM issues. Gigabyte 970A-UD3P or the MSI 970 Gaming. FX 8320 will match the FX 8350, with ease, so save some cash and go with that. Black series drives are overpriced, get a WD blue or Seagate. Evga 600b has been selling cheap lately, go with that. Use savings towards a better GPU, R9 280 or better, and or SSD like a Crucial MX 100.

Don't get an SSD with less than 120GB. SSD drives need to have around 20% of thier storage space free to function at thier fast speeds and your windows install and normal programs will take up most of a 64GB drive.

Second, Get a 550W XFX TS power supply. Those EVGA ones are a little cheaper, but not as good of quality and a cheap power supply has a higher chance of frying your entire system. It's better not to risk it.

As for the hard drive, I personally recommend the WD Black drives as they are pretty fast for an HDD. Noticeable difference over the Blue version if you compare them side by side.

If you can do it for around the same amount of money, i'd recommend going with an i5 4690 cpu and a motherboard that matches it. But if that makes your build too expensive then that FX-8350 should serve you well also.
