This will be my first computer that i am building it will be for gaming. I will, in the near future, upgrade the processor. But is everything compatible?? Will everything fit in the case?? Is my PSU good enough?? Will i need any extra cables or adapters?? Will my GPU connect with this mobo?? And just overall is there any issues with it??

I wouldn't use the Power Supply you selected. Get one from Seasonic or Corsair and for future upgrades just get one that is around 650 Watts. The rest should work fine.

I cant upgrade the CPU right now cause of my budget. I will do so later and i will also upgrade the PSU later. But for this specific build, is this PSU fine?

Are you talking about the OP's build or the other guy's? XFX is MADE by Seasonic. Also, don't discount Antec as well.

thebosscat007 :

The PSU is horrible and will most likely result in the build not booting up.
