I already have a machine that I built about two years ago which is still usable for gaming. Right now, I am looking into building another mainly to play with the systems, learn some programming, install linux somewhere, etc. I might or might not game on it.
Here are the components I have decided on sofar:
FX- 6300 CPU.

Cougar spike case

HDD

GPU
R7 250

R9 270

I haven't decided on the card yet. The 270 seems to be a decent card for $180. If I am already willing to pay $90 for the 250 then I might as well pay another $90 and get an okay GPU.
I'm lost when it comes to the RAM. How do I go about finding the right match for the CPU and MB?
Aside from the above, the only pieces I am missing are the optical drive, a wireless adapter, plus I might go ahead and get more fans for the case.
As for the power supply.Let's just assume that I am getting the R9 270 just in case I do get it or decide to upgrade in the future. I haven't looked into PSU because I have no clue on how to go about picking one but I did come across this one.

Think it will work?

Do let me know if I happen to be missing any components. Thanks.
