Drop the 8350 in favour of the 8320 and spend the difference on a better GPU, possibly a newer Radeon R9

The power supply is also a bad choice. Get anything from Antec or Seasonic

and thanks stulid, that spec would be perfect if we already had the case, but with the price of the case it would go well over the budget i have been given

Thanks
