Hey guys, it's my first time on this forum (Seems like a great community so far). I was wondering if anyone could help me with my custom build. So... this is my first build and I am not sure if these parts are compatible. Also, I just want to make sure that I am not bottlenecking any component of the PC. Thank you for your help in advance! (Also, if you see anything important that I missed, please let me know. I believe that I got everything necessary, but not positive.)

Case:
Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

CPU: AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor

GPU: SAPPHIRE 100358L Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB

Disk Drive: LITE-ON DVD Burner - Bulk Black SATA Model iHAS124-04 - OEM

HDD: Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM

PSU: COOLER MASTER Elite 460 RS-460-PSAR-I3 460W ATX12V V2.31 Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU

MOBO: ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990X SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

RAM: Team Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (Yellow Heat Spreader) Model TLYD38G1600HC9DC01

This build will run me almost exactly $600. Yet again, Thanks
