A 32-bit system processes data using 32 bits, while a 64-bit system handles 64 bits, allowing it to manage more memory and run more complex applications efficiently.
A 64-bit operating system lets the OS use over 3.5 GB of memory and run 64-bit applications that need more than 1 GB RAM. For systems beyond an i3, choose a 64-bit Windows 8.1.

Here’s a revised version of your request:
I need to review the parts list you provided. Also, I’ll suggest additional components and note that Windows 7 will be used.
The board isn’t top-notch. You should aim for a chipset with at least 970 on the AM3+ platform and an FX-6300+. Skip the mATX options—they’re not recommended. Move up to full ATX for better performance. Here’s an updated setup: It costs a bit more, but offers superior quality and lets you upgrade to higher-end chips like FX-8320 or 8350 8-core later.

The stock cooler works at stock speeds, but a higher-end one is advisable if you plan to push clocks or switch to an 8-core chip later.
I don’t require a new motherboard since I won’t be doing any overclocking.
It's only in my market using my own funds, and it should work since I won't be doing any overclocking. It's mainly for gaming, and possibly recording my PC.
