I need advise, I want to buy PC components which will be good for gaming as well as be under my budget.

First thing I chose is Graphics card : ATI HD 7850 2GB DDR5

then matching things up with this selected following:

Processor: AMD 3.5 GHz AM3 FX 8320 8 Core Piledriver
Mobo: MSI 990FXA-GD65
RAM : 8GB DDR3 (4x2)
1. Is this setup looks compatible?
2. If making any of above component inferior will have negligible affect on performance/gaming(like buying 970 chip mobo instead of 990) then please let me know so I can save some money :) ?
3. Any other advice?
