I'd try this and see just how far you can overclock this i3 in relation to it's utilization with a card like the 390X. Also provides you with better quality overall on many components while coming in slightly cheaper and giving you a clear upgrade path for the future.

FX Series processors are really all that great. Assuming you're trying to build a gaming machine here's what I'd go with at this budget. Also wasn't sure if you forgot to include the regular storage drive or not so I tossed one in

I like the build, there is no big weakness but I'd improve the power supply to the EVGA GQ 650w. It is miles ahead in performance and reliability over the EVGA G1 650w, which is average at most. Also, beware that you're picking an AMD FX processor that only lives up to It's power in games that truly support It's 8 cores. In the games that don't you might not always see 1080p@60fps. It's good for multitasking overall though especially with 16GB RAM. Perhaps a much better price/performance ratio would be with an Intel i5 processor, but that's up to you really.
