Hello, I've just ordered components for my new build and I'd really appreciate for some feedback about it, thank you!

Case: Aerocool Strike-X Advance Midi-Tower
Motherboard: Asus AMD 990X, AM3+ (M5A99X EVO R2.0)
Graphics card: Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 270X, 2 GB, PCI-E 3.0 (GV-R927XOC-2GD)
Power supply: Corsair VS650, 650 W (CP-9020051-EU)
Processor: AMD FX-Series FX-8320 Box, 3,5 GHz, AM3+
Processor fan: Akasa AK-CC4007EP01 Nero 3

Hard Disc: Red 1 TB, 64MB, SATAIII (WD10EFRX)

Thank you for all the answers in advance! I have a question too, would you recommend ASRock Motherboard Asrock 990FX Extreme9, AM3 instead of this one?

Thanks

The R3D is a WD, and is better than Seagate. The Blue will perform better though, you're right.

Everything looks good except the power supply. Get a better quality unit, the VS is their lowest tier PSU, and wouldn't be reliable with those parts.

XFX has their 550w unit on sale right now for $48, and would be MUCH better :)

Thank you, appreciate it :) I'm not quite sure though about the PSU, does that mean that VS type from Corsair is bad quality, or this type doesn't have enough wattage to keep everything running? I'm not sure I can get that one, but I'd really appreciate if you would take a look at the store I order from and tell me which one I should get instead then :) Store link

Yeah, the VS series is just lower quality. Plenty of wattage, but that isn't really the concern.

Though, out of what that store has available, I think the VS would be your best bet. If you've already ordered it, I wouldn't worry about it, but if you can still change up, I would simply change the FX-8320 to a FX-6350. You'll get a little bit better gaming performance, and that way you won't have to overclock, since I wouldn't recommend overclocking on that power supply.

Thank you! That really helps a lot :) I have actually found out another store and I believe this could actually be better if you could check if it: PSU LINK
I already ordered FX-8320 though :)
Thanks again
