I am getting my first PC build and was wondering if these components would fit in my case and if the components would fit in the motherboard. My components are:
ASUS Radeon R9 270X
http://www.amazon.co.uk/R9270X-DC2T-2GD5-1120Mhz-2048MB...

AMD FX6300 Black Edition

Corsair Vengeance 8GB

ASUS Motherboard Asus M5A78L-M

Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W

Any help would be much appreciated as I know very little about building my own computer.
Thanks

+1 for this

Rosewill Hive 550 is another good option for a budget PSU

The Motherboard listed by the OP has no heatsinks on the VRU though. I recommend you do not try to OC at all unless you have VRU cooling. Gigabyte has a similar micro-atx 760G board with VRU cooling. This would be better. Just don't go too crazy with your OC.

I have no plans to OC as I have chosen my graphics card so that I can play all new games at a decent framerate. Thanks for the recommendation aswell

Corsair CX series aren't good. They use cheap capacitors inside which can fail more easily when under stress or heat. They not that good for gaming pc.
The XFX 550W is a Seasonic unit essentially and that has high quality parts and will last 5 years. The CX is guaranteed to last 3 years.
