This will be a $800-950 budget PC. I will be using it for web surfing and gaming mostly. I would like to know if everything will be compatible and my psu/cpu powerful enough. I also would want to know if this build can have 40fps+ on all games

AMD FX 6300
Asrock Extreme3
CM Hyper 212 Plus
PowerColor Radeon HD 7970
Kingston 8gb DDR3
120gb Samsung 840 EVO
1TB WD Caviar Blue
600w Corsair CX600
Fractal Design Arc Midi r2

Your build is very good and will perform well. Since you already have a nice AMD build, here's a simple Intel build.

You could have been more specific about the motherboard. I'll assume it's AM3+
I recommend getting AMD 970 over 870 to get the best out of the FX 6300.

Other than that. It looks good.

The only other thing I would look into is to see if you can find a better deal on a GTX 670 or 760. Basically get whichever one of the 3 are cheaper when it's time to buy.

Advantages of this build:
-Lower power consumption.
-No need for overclocking.
-Performs like an 8-core on games like Battlefield 4.
-Performs better on multi-threaded applications.
-Much faster on single threaded applications.
-Faster on stock speeds.

But if you want to experience the fun of overclocking, then your build is the better choice. :)
