Do you guys recommend the AMD FX-8350 for a cpu? http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffil ... omoid=1265

An i5 will be much better for gaming.

An SSD isn't really necessary. Your money is much better spent on a better GPU.
I picked the case because it looked nice. If you want something else, feel free to swap it out.

With $800 you can get an i5 and a 280x.
Goes a bit over budget, but has everything you need.

For an $800 budget, I would not recommend that case. First off, I would not recommend getting a case that costs more than 1/8 of your budget. Second, I have heard very bad things about InWin cases.
If you're willing to get a different case, the Corsair Carbide Spec-01, 02, or 03 have the same general theme to the case, as well as being decent-quality cases.
I threw this together. It's a bit of an upgrade from RoboShadow's list. (I didn't add an SSD to the list because I know absolutely nothing about good/bad ones. I kept the price $80 cheaper than $800, which I would assume to be enough to get a good SSD. If you really want that case, though, you could still get this build, but have the case instead of the SSD.
-Added a better motherboard (Has crossfire support)
-Cheaper RAM
-Better GPU
-Cheaper Case
-Cheaper, Better, Higher Wattage PSU (To feed that power-hungry 290)
(Edit)
I know you were just using the one the OP wanted lol, I just wanted to mention that it's not a good case for the budget, because it takes a lot away from the insides of the case.
