I've been picking pc parts for a long while and I've finally settled on this list. Feel free to recommend different parts and tell me what you think about the ones I have now. Thanks!

Not a recommendation but a must that you upgrade your PSU to atleast a 650W+ Tier 2 or 700W+ Tier 3.

One thing for this build I would recommend: a CPU cooler. AMD FX CPUs are know for their heat output, so using an aftermarket CPU cooler can help remove that. Here is a good, fairly cheap one.

1. Absolutely get a better PSU.
2. The Hyper212 EVO is not a bad cooler, but is a horrid bang/buck Loser compared to many competitors at http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2478892/alternatives-hyper-212-evo-budget-cooling.html
3. The MSI 970A-G43 has weak VRMs with no heatsinks that may pop under load. See https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=2

Can you recommend another compatible motherboard under $100?

Good PSU Choice.
Minimum Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514

^That would be a good choice. Definitely not "minimum," imho it is definitely worth the $30 or so you'd pay over a "minimum" board.
