I'm thinking of getting a new PC but I want to know if these parts are compatible:
Motherboard: gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3
CPU: AMD FX 6350
GPU: Nvidia GTX 780 3gb
RAM: 8gb Hyperx Blu
Hard Drive: WD 1TB
2nd Hard Drive: WD 500GB
PSU: 600W Corsair
Case: Mid Tower AvP 400K2

Hi,
Better get motherboard with 970 or 990 chipset. The one you have listed above has an old 760G chipset, which is not really made for the ''newer'' Vishera/Piledriver CPUs like the FX 4300, FX 6300 and FX 8300 series.

Another thing is that FX 6350 paired with GTX 780. The GPU might bottleneck the CPU, unless there is some overclocking involved from the CPU.

Also if the PSU is corsair's CX unit, then forget it. CX units use low quality capacitors and will wear and heat up fast. Get something else from corsair(HX , TX or AX) or something else form: XFX, SeaSonic or Antec
