What do you think of my build?

I'm trying to build a gaming PC and this is what I have so far, what do you think? And how can you improve without making the price to go up too much and if you can lower the price (but lowering it isn't that important.)

Now a days you really need 8GB of RAM. So it is a little more costy, but in the long term the 8gb Ram will help.

The motherboard uses a 2 generation old 760G chipset that was never designed to run an FX processor . It can , but its not ideal .
Instead pay a little extra and use a board with a 970 series chipset .

Asus M5A97 R2.0

The cm power supply is not suitable for use with a modern computer .
Use only 80+ bronze or better rated power supplies .
The Corsair CX 600 is $45
