Hello guys, I'm having trouble with compatibilities with this components, This is my first time to build and I need your help. Could someone tell me if these are compatible and if I'm going to add additional 4 120mm fans (total of 6 120mm fans all with led) in the case will my psu handle all? thank you in advance.


CPU: AMD AM3+ FX-6300 SIX CORE 3.5GHZ 14MB

Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 DDR3 AMD AM3+

Ram: Crucial 8gb ballistix sport 1600MHz dd3(4gbx2kit)

GPU: SAPPHIRE HD 7770 1GB GDDR5 VAPOR-X O.C

HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL 500GB SATA3

PSU: Seasonic S12ll-520 520w 80+ bronze

Case: Aerocool Strike-x one advance

Cpu cooler: Deepcool Neptwin

also I'm just gonna use external dvd driver usb 2.0

and the last question is if this build enough for 8-10hrs ( working online multiple tabs in a browser, minimal photo editing and game low-mid using 22inch led tv monitor with 720p reso) thank you thank you.

Yes, this is all fine and your CPU is more than enough.

It will be a perfectly fine computer for medium-ish settings in games and general use like multitasking.

DO NOT buy all those fans. Big waste as this computer will NOT get hot at all. A front intake and rear exhaust are all that you need. Any more than those 2 fans WILL NOT help cooling and will just make our computer sound like a leaf blower. More fans =/= cooler computer.

All appears to be compatible, but you may require a BIOS update to version F11 for your CPU to be fully functional.
That system is more than enough for your computing needs.

Your case is fine. It comes with a rear exhaust and a front intake. I would not get any more fans for your build. it will NOT get hot at all.

My room is very warm compared to normal and I have no issues. a room a few degrees above normal is NOT a problem. Your room would have to be 85f+ for there to be a real issue.

Did you change processor from the FX-4300? Either way, it's doesn't matter. Good catch on the revision number of the motherboard. That revision natively supports your processor without a BIOS update.
