This is my question: can i make a good computer with these parts + are they full compatible?

- Processor: AMD FX-6300
- Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 (AM3+)
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1600Mhz
- Video Card: ASUS RADEON HD 6670-2GD3 (I know it's not a real gaming card but I plan on updating it in the future)
- HDD: Western Digital Blue, 1 TB HDD
- DVD Burner:
LiteOn iHAS124-04, DVD-Burner
- Case: Antec Three Hundred Two
- Intake Fan: Scythe Slip Stream 800
- PSU: Corsair CX600M

Some more questions:

Can I put a Cooler Master 212 EVO in this build and do I need it if i don't overclock the CPU?
Can I put windows 8 on this device?

Some tips would be nice 2 it's my first build ;).

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Its all compatible but I think you need to think a little bit better on your GPU I have the same one and basically its a remarketed version of a 6670.. The original 6670 came with 1GB and had DDR5 which was much faster than the core edition that I believe your speaking of. Yes you could and definitely should get an after market cooler and the hyper 212 is a good choice. Windows 8 will run as well. What is your budget on the GPU?

okay sorry for my derpiness but i don't know that much about gpu's, on the sapphire (and a lot of low budget cards) i don't see any fan, so does it cool itself, doesn't it require a fan, or are the fans in the case usually good enough to keep the gpu cool (again soz for my lack of experience)

As long as you have good airflow in your pc and you keep all your fans and filters well cleaned then I think the ones with heatsinks only are fine. They are lower end GPUs so they shouldn't get as hot as some and you can always download a temp monitor to make sure that it is staying within safe temps

Okay, so I'm gonna search for some different ram, i might use the
XFX HD7770 Double Dissipation GPU(kinda more expensive but still pretty cheap) and will buy the 212 evo.
