I'm trying to build a budget gaming PC, because i'm on a tight budget.

And i was just wondering if this configuration would be useful for gaming, at 1080p(Would turn to 720p if needed).And to play some modern games, and future ones, at medium or high settings, at decent FPS

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core £77.99

Motherboard Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ £51.88

Memory Corsair Vengeance 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 £31.68

Storage Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM £48.12

Video Card XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB £145.90

Case NZXT Source 210 Elite (White) ATX Mid Tower £37.44

Power Supply XFX 550W ATX12V / EPS12V £49.86

Optical Drive LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer £14.99

Operating System Microsoft Windows 8 (OEM) (64-bit) £69.59

Custom Microsoft Wired Desktop 600 - Black £18.12

And would i have any problems when building like. The gpu too big for the Case, the Ram heat spreader wont fit a bigger Cooling fan for the Cpu. or stuff like that.

Thanks for the help.

"MSI 970A-G43 ATX AM3+ Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Thermaltake Commander MS-I ID ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports."

Would not having the USB 3.0 be a big problem? Or i may be wrong and this information is invalid.

But would the case be big enough for the 7870?
