So im planning on building a new gaming PC. This would be my first build so I need to get good parts for the price. I know a bit about PC's but still need to confirm if everything would fit and match.

AMD FX6300
XFX HD 7770 Core Edition 1GB
Novatech Galaxy III Case With 500w PSU
Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 AMD Socket AM3+
Crucial 4GB DDR3 1600MHz
WD 500GB + I have 250gb already

On an extremely tight budget, your selections are not bad, with the possible exception that the case may include a PSU-shaped object.
If your budget has any room to grow, get a 900-series chipset board. Reference the spreadsheet at https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=2 to look for boards to AVOID due to potential VRM issues (especially if you plan to overclock).
Be aware that "960," "980," and even some "970DE" boards may actually be liar-labeled 700-series boards with a modern socket tacked onto it.
Depending on the games you want to play, your monitor's resolution, and settings you want to achieve, you may want a stronger graphics card. A GTX650Ti Boost Edition...

Depending on the games you want to play, your monitor's resolution, and settings you want to achieve, you may want a stronger graphics card. A GTX650Ti Boost Edition, R7-260X, HD7850, or R9-270 would be significantly stronger.

Edit: And get a good PSU. A 380W Antec Earthwatts can handle your system with any graphics card that only has a single 6-pin PCIe power connector.
