CPU- AMD FX-6300
Motherboard- Asus M5A97-R2
GPU- MSI GTX 650TI BOOST
Ram- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2133 4gb X 2
Case- Cooler master SGC-1000
PSU-Corsair GS600 V2
HDD- Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5"
Any suggestions you guys want to make?
What about the compatibility of the parts?
Will the PSU be enough for my build?
Thanks for answering

Agreed - 600 watts is more than ample for that hardware. I personally can't resist buying low-latency memory despite the fact that I know in real-world gaming performance it's no more useful than high clock speeds. I'd advise 8GB (tops) of DDR3 1600MHz CAS9, or CAS8 if price is similar. The GTX760 is an excellent card - 39% faster than the GTX650 Ti Boost. Fair bit more expensive though.

The PSU will be sufficient. I have a suggestion though. Drop the RAM to 1600/1866 and increase the size to 16 GB or get very low latency 1600/1866 8 GB. The increment from 1600 to 2133 is very small. Low latency 1600 ram can outperform normal 2133 in real life applications. As gaming goes, anything above 1333 is waste of money. (RAM synthetics are not really helpful here. Doing a lot of content creation, RAM is my best friend, and programs like Photoshop or After Effects benefits more from low latency ram at reasonable MHz than higher latency and bigger MHz. Well that is at least my experience). Good luck.

Thanks so much guys. This community is very warm and friendly. The ram clock speed was a typo - it was meant to be 1333 and i have changed the graphics card to GTX 760
