This is my first gaming Pc so I have a couple questions. Should I get 16GB memory (2x8) sticks, or 8GB memory (2x4) sticks? Are all the parts nice? My budget is around 1000-1100 US dollars. I want to be able to play all different types of games at 60FPS 1080p.Please tell me any parts I should switch out. Also, how well will the wireless wifi adapter work? Thank you

First off, welcome! Second of all, what games will you be looking to play at 60fps, 1080p? Third of all, the wifi card will work as much as your wifi speed will allow it to work. I'd switch the 390 out for a GTX 970 or 960. As long as you're not doing any hardcore stuff like rendoring or editing the rest should be pretty good, sticking with 2x4GB of RAM is also good.
 
Hi READINGASH,

I'd swap out the R9 390 with a GTX 960 or GTX 970, You can even ramp it up to a GTX Titan should you require it.

I would also look into an aftermarket cooler as the stock cooler is fairly loud. The Hyper 212 EVO by Cooler Master is good. And if you're brave, I'd go for the Corsair Hydro watercoolers, because $1100 is a lot to spend on a gaming PC, so I'd make it worthwhile.
 
I'd also get 16GB or even 32GB at the maximum clock speed your motherboard supports (presumably 1600MHZ)! :)
