Hey all, I just want to know, is this a good enough build? This will be built in Canada, and I'm in high school with a low income(~$200/month).

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor-$121.75

Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard-$59.50

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory-$76.41

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive-$62.44

Video Card: Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 270X DUAL-X With Boost Video Card - 2 GB GDDR5 - PCI Express 3.0 x16 - CrossFireX Ready - HDMI - DisplayPort - 2 x Dual-Link DVI- $217.50

Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case-$53.13

Power supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply-$24.99

Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer-$18.00

OS: Windows 7(Not too sure, I think 64 bit?)-Free

It comes to a total of around $613.52

I have a budget of $700. As for games, I'd like to run Civ 5, CS:GO, DayZ, BF4, Fallout 3&NV, and Skyrim.

Thanks in advance.

Great, thanks! Are you recommending a better PSU so I can upgrade it later? Will these parts fit in my case, or should I get a better one? I'm reading through the reviews on the mobo, and I see that quite a few people are having problems with it; is this just bad luck?

If I increased my budget to something like, say, $750, what else could I change?

EDIT: I looked for the 7870, and I can't seem to find it in stock in Canada. Any other card?
