the FX6300 cpu is an AM3+ socket cpu, and it will not fit on an X88X FM2+ motherboard unfortunatly.

For en FX6300 cpu, you need an AM3+ motherboard like Msi 970A Gaming.
For an FM2+ X88X mobo, you could go with an Athlon X4 860K cpu for example.

What is your budget if i may ask?

Upgrade capability. Not much performance increase in gaming for using dual channel over single channel.
That said, doubt he'll end up using 32GB or even 20GB of RAM.

Once again, thanks guys.

I've seen your options and #1 is a bit too much on my end, but I really like it and willing to consider it. Option #2 really has my attention. But what about this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/R7mp4D. It's based off your 2 options. (decided to go with intel rather then amd)

The 280x is a better card than the GTX960 with more VRAM, which is becoming very important as games are starting to use more than 2gb at ultra settings.
The only advantage of the 960 is efficiency.
