I was never into PC gaming, so I am not sure about how long and how this setup will peform, I would like some thougts or alternatives in the same budget:

CPU: AMD FX 8350 AM3 4,2GHZ

GPU: ASUS RADEON R9 280 3GB DDR5 - Tahiti pro 2

Memory: Kingstom DDR3-RAM 8GB PC3-14900

HD: 256 GB SSD + 1TB HDD (Brand to be decided)

MotherBoard: GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD3

PSU: I was thinking about a 550 or 600W.

1) Try and go with a R9 280x or r9 285..     really worth the maybe $40-$60 more ...

2) Go with 750W or higher PSU..   Both AMD CPU and GPU are power suckers.. also if you want to Crossfire (dual cards) in the future ..  A 750W+ PSU will be needed..
