Hello everyone.
Hoping I can get some advice.
I recently built a new machine based on some advice on here. This is what I used:
Corsair Carbide Series 200R Compact ATX Computer Case - Black
XFX 650W XXX Edition 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular
Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0 Motherboard (AMD 990X/SB950, 4x DDR3, S-ATA 600, ATX, PCI-Express 2.0, USB 3.0, Network iControl, Windows 8 Ready, Socket AM3+)
AMD FX8350 Black Edition 8 Core Processor (4.0/4.2GHz, 8MB Level 3 Cache, 8MB Level 2 Cache, Socket AM3+, 125W, Retail Boxed)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm)
Patriot PVI38G160C9K 8GB (2x 4GB) Intel Extreme Masters Dual Memory Module Kit
Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X 3GB WINDFORCE Video Card

Western Digital 1TB internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue (3.5 inch)

ASUS Xonar DG PCI 5.1 Audio Card
Unfortunately, I spilled water through the case and fried the insides. Insurance is replacing my computer with a new machine. Here are the specs they sent me earlier today:

BEQUIET! 730W PURE POWER L8 PSU, RIFLE BEARING FAN,

Don't know an awful lot about computer parts - have only built in the past and always asked for advice on what to buy. Insurance people are getting back to me over the next few days. I can make amendments to this rig if I'm not happy.
Do the new parts look okay? Are they adequate replacements? Are there any components that aren't too great and that I should ask to be replaced.
I appreciate that this is a lot of reading to get through.
Hopefully, someone can help me out
Cheers
