Hi,

I recently chose to manually select all the PC part that I need for gaming purpose.
I have chosen all parts on pcpartpicker which are:

1) processor: AMD FX-6350 3.9 Ghz 6 core processor
2)CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling UCACO-AP60301-BUA01 Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler
3) Motherboard: ASRock 960GC-GS FX - micro ATX - Socket AM3+ - AMD 760G - Gigabit LAN
4) Memory: Kingston 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
5) Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card
6) Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WN781ND 802.11b/g/n PCI Wi-Fi Adapter
7) Case: CM FORCE 500, W/ELITE 500W (power included)
8) Optical Drive: Samsung SN-208DB/BEBET DVD/CD Writer
9) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

So, I am about to buy two from those (awaiting for discount) which are the case and the motherboard on PriceMinister, but before I do so, I would like to ask for your advice regarding the full compatibility of the parts and also your opinion about their power: is this configuration good enough to run high fps games like Crysis 3?

I have heck up on pcpartpicker for their compatibility, but I don't really trust that way of assurance. Another thing I wonder is: is a 500W power supply like the one I have chosen (link: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-eXtreme-Supply-RS50...) not enough/too powerfull for my configuration? Because as I am not an expert in computing, I don't know if the voltage of the power supply should be more or less than 500W (the sum of the voltage components of my configuration is about 394W).

Thanks for any support and please accept my apologies for my bad English.

-Your motherboard is designed for 95w TDP processors, your processor is 125w TDP, you will need to change the motherboard. Preferable motherboards: Asus M5A97 series, Gigabyte 970 series, MSI 970 series, Asrock 970 series.
-Since this motherboard supports dual channel memory, you should have 2 sticks of ram. Preferable RAM configuration 2x4GB
-Avoid Cooler Master PSU's, go with brands like Corsair, XFX, SeaSonic, BeQuiet
-For your setup, if you are planing to overclock, 550w good quality PSU will do the job.
-Finally, tell us your budget so we can pick parts for your setup.

thanks for quickly answering me, I have switch from motherboard to the MSI-760GA-P43 (FX), I don't know what you think about it, but I would like to have once again your advice.
I am willing to pay a maximum of €500 in computers part, with a preference on more expensive CPU and graphic card, cheaper motherboard, power supply and very cheap optical drive computer case, etc...
