$646.29

I wanna know a couple things like: Is the psu overkill? Do I need to buy thermal paste or does the cpu come with? Is this build worth the money? Am I making a mistake that I haven't realized like the gpu not fitting in the case? Will the case come with fans?

IF ANY OF YOU COULD PLEASE ANSWERS SOME OF MY QUESTIONS THAT BE GREAT ESPECIALLY IF YOU ANSWERED MORE THAN ONE. THIS MIGHT POSSIBLY BE MY FIRST PC BUILD. :)

the PSU is a bit of an overkill, 500W should be more than enough for your build
CPU stock heatsink has thermal paste pre-applied to it
GPU is fine, your case has to be ant sized to not fit a GPU

overall your build is good, should be able to handle a great bunch of games for the next couple of years
consider buying an after market heatsink/fan and overclocking your CPU
SSD maybe

The CPU should come with paste on its cooler, but I reccomend you go with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo because stock coolers for AMD are not that great. That PSU is waaaayyyy too much. Just stick with a 600 watt. I would ask the guys on here about the PSU. I am not that knowledged about their reliability I also do not recommend you getting that case (and yes it comes with fans). Get something a little nicer, because having a nice case can really help. Message me if you would like another suggestion for a case, I just need to know what price you want. I would also read up on that motherboard to check if it has good reliability. If you are willing got spend a bit more, you could get an AMD FX-8320 or an Nvidia 760. I also recommend that you change the HDD to a WD black, they perform better.

Lol, I probably gave you more than you wanted, but I like doing that. Message me if you have any questions
