Hey all,
So I've begun to build myself a desktop (for gaming) but, have never done it before. I have basically finished selecting the parts with only a few problems--I'm not fully sure everything is compatible/good to be put together.
I used PcPartPicker.com to help pick the parts and it says it uses a compatibility filter so i'm pretty sure everything is compatible plus, i have personally read the specs fairly thoroughly. My only concern is some bad reviews from Newegg stating that my Motherboard isn't very good for my CPU and some other concerning things. If it wouldn't be too much to ask, could somebody please look through and help decide if my build should be acceptable?
Here is the build I'm looking at buying: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2crIU
CPU--- AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU cooler--- Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 45.0 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard--- MSI 970A-G46 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
RAM sticks--- G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
HDD--- Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU--- MSI Radeon R9 270X 2GB Video Card
Full Tower Case--- Azza Genesis 9000 (White) ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply--- Thermaltake Tough Power 750W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply
Fan--- Cooler Master R4-L2R-20AC-GP 69.0 CFM 120mm Fan
Thanks in advance. Also, my budget is like a deadline $900.

I change your ram to 8gb, your motherboard to Asus, your PSU to corsair CX 600w, and finally you GPU to 280x.
you only need 8gb if you are using it mainly for gaming, and that 280x will play all games available today on maximum settings 1080p. if you want to upgrade your ram later, just upgrade it.

Alright guys! I've finally put together another build based off of the ones above. All that is left is for me to get a case and, due to my new graphic card selected, a new power supply. PcPartPicker is being dumb and saying the graphic card will use like around 235watts but, it is stated that the card has a system power supply requirement of 600W.
Um, can you guys help me with finding a case? It needs to be cheap ($50 and under) and decent looking but, capable of housing the graphic card with dimensions L=292mm W=129mm H=43mm. Also, i need help on picking a Power supply. Also needs to be cheap--This graphic card is making me borderline, if not surpass, my budget. Thanks and btw, here's the link to the new build.

Plus in the future you might end up getting another GPU or upgrading the system or something along those lines. If your getting that one it is at a great deal for it's price but that's because of Black Friday deals.

Ok, so I'm going to get that X cruiser 2bk.
Uhh, it says it comes with 3 120mm fans so i'm assuming it is ok to remove my fans from my build? Or should I just keep them since they're fairly cheap?
Also, I am concerned with this "Fits Graphics Cards up to 11" in length" My Gtx 770 is 11.5 inches by 5 by 1.7... Do you think the extra half an inch will still fit?
(Worst comes to worst I'll just get my mechanic father to use power tools and adjust the case size.)
Here's the nearly final build guys! http://pcpartpicker.com/user/LastImpulse/saved/31Tb
Btw, you've all been so helpful.

Now I know it has a different case, but if you don't like it you can change it to match yours. This case is a really solid one and many people have used it in their builds. Also if your going to go with a blue theme I would also wait till the blue G.Skill Ripjaws go on sale for $50.

Ok. Here it is! http://pcpartpicker.com/user/LastImpulse/saved/31Tb
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 4GB Video Card
Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WN881ND 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
I decided to get the Phantom because of the larger case size and it looked just as good. However, it did raise the price a bit. Also, I stuck with my PSU simply because I have read that PSU's can lose up to 100-200 watts of energy and since my gtx 770 requires 750, i figured losing 100 watts or so would be bad if I only had 620w. Plus, the mail in rebates for the 620w psu were the only thing making it cheaper than the 750w but, the mail in rebates end like, tomorrow...so there's no way i'd get the rebate. Thanks guys. If you wouldn't mind do a last check for me; make sure everything is compatible. You guys are awesome!

Looks great. One thing just change the PSU to this one:

For $10 more your getting a tier two PSU which will last last longer and has great quality.
