I want to get a new computer. I am planning on this

*Processor CPU: AMD FX8350 4.20Ghz 8 Cores
CPU Cooling: Corsair Performance Liquid Cooled
Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Corsair [8GBx1]
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2
Hard Disk 1: 1 Terabyte Hybrid with SSD Technology
Optical Drive 1: Asus 24X DVD Rewriter
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX760 2GB
Sound Card: Creative SB X-FI Extreme 7.1
Wireless: 300 MBPS Wifi Included
Power Supply: Corsair GS800 Watt A/PFC 80+*

*Custom Pc* website

Anything not really necessary? How long until this will get outdated? I want to have this for gaming for 4-5+years. Are all these parts suitable with each others? I also want some of your suggestions for different parts. Thanks, :)
 
Setup looks fine. But PSU is a bit overkill. That system could run on a 500W, but would be good with just a 600W.
What's the price? It's usually a better deal to assemble it yourself.
If you want it to be able to run games in 5 years, which is nearly impossible to make sure it does, I would upgrade the GPU to a GTX 770 at least.

RAM - 2 x 4GB.
Mobo & PSU - Don't need 990FX + 800W unless you plan to SLi in future.
wifi - dual band?
May be SSD? hybrid drive is not as fast as SSD.
Soundcard - get Asus? The review for that creative from newegg say there is driver problem.
