Hi I'm just wondering if I will come into any troubles with this new PSU/GPU being configured with my motherboard. I am not a tech expert so I decided to ask here to see if these are all compatible/not wasting my money lol.

PSU: http://puu.sh/811tW.png
GPU: http://puu.sh/811v6.png
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3
CPU: AMD-FX 8320 (3.5gHz)

Will I be able to run games quite fluidly with this set-up as well?

Thank you.

I agree. AMD chips can make for beastly gaming rigs. The AMD chips transfer heat much better than Intels latest, easily making up for their higher heat output. As far as reliability, I haven't had any intel or AMD chips in over 50 systems built last year alone even so much as hint at being flaky, usually poor QC on mobos is the culprit of system instability.

This setup should perform very well. You aren't wasting your time at all, this is a very solid build. The GTX 660 can play pretty much any game at 1080p, usually on medium to high settings, so everything looks great. Good work.

I think you should choose a better graphics card (for gaming I would personally not go for anything less than GTX 760 or R9 270). I would also never recommend an AMD processor. They generate way too much heat, draw too much power and are generally unreliable.
Your power supply is an overkill. A 500W PSU will be doing a great job for this build.
Hope I helped.
