Hey guys, so its my first time ever building a computer, my price range was around 600$ to start. I already ordered everything. Just want to see what everyone thinks and what my first upgrade should be. I currently only play WoW atm, but once my build is set ill venture into a lot more games.

Let me know what you think!

Well, looks like you listed the case twice and no CPU. Depending on OS and what else you run (Teamspeak/Skype, Steam, if you're like me and keep a web browser open, newer games, etc.) 4GB of RAM might seem kind of low. Also, depending on CPU and if you're overclocking, that power supply might be on the lowend of what you need. But aside from that, ok.
 
Now Sora, I wouldn't use that motherboard for the Fx 8320.
The Asus M5A990Fx Pro or the Gigabyte GA-970A UD3 are the least expensive motherboards that I would consider putting that chip on.

I would also pay the extra $3.00 and get these G.Skill sticks.

Get the new version of the Gigabyte, GA-970A-UD3P.

I agree with the RAM, but I would probably go 8GB for a gaming setup.

And a Hyper 212 EVO so you can do some overclocking with the UD3P.
