Hi. I am a fan of AMD as well

I would recommend the following:

Motherboard:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-068-AK
CPU:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-336-AM
GPU:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-324-AS
RAM:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-057-TG
The ram has about £100 off on a week only deal so buy fast if you want some
CASE: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-087-BX
I have this case and it is really nice to build in and looks nice and is really silent

If you want to downgrade your CPU and get a better graphics card I would recommend getting a AMD 6350 and a AMD 280x

Hope this helps
 
If your going to change your cpu I would get the 8320, a SSD is pretty much a must. Personally I would get a new GPU 770 or 280x and an SSD, try it see what you think then consider processor and motherboard at a later date if you need to.
Also what make /model is your PSU?

Sorry, i just have to say that isn't very well thought out.

First the motherboard, Solid but no Mosfet cooling, so a big hot power hungry CPU will melt them.. The 970 Evo or Gigabyte 990X would be a better choice. Phase cooling is essentail (4+2 or 6+2).

CPU, big power hungry CPU, see above. The 8320 is a much better choice.

16GB of RAM why? Spend less (more than half as much) and get 8GB 2133/2400.

The is decent,

The 6350 is a poor chip for the money, get the 6300 and overclock it.

The 8350 offers nothing over an 8320 besides stock clocks - overclock the 8320 a tiny bit and there's no difference.

That motherboard isn't up to much, and it won't support the RAM you spec'd at 2666mhz. 16gb RAM is pointless anyway. The OP can keep the kit he has.

With an SSD:

YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI Geforce GTX 770 Gaming Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £239.99
1 x AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8320 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail £109.99
1 x Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 AMD 970 (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £74.99
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £68.99
1 x Corsair Graphite Series 230T Compact Mid Tower Case (CC-9011036-WW) £57.95
1 x Alpenföhn Matterhorn Pure Edition CPU Cooler £29.99
Total : £591.49 (includes shipping : £8.00).
