Hi I'm looking to build a mini-itx pc using the bitfenix prodigy case, my budget is £400 - £450 and I have put this build together but I'm not sure whether it would be great. I would be using it for some gaming such as minecraft and doing photoshop and school work.

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor (£57.31 @ Scan.co.uk)
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A78M-ITX+ Mini ITX FM2+ Motherboard (£60.79 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Kingston Fury Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£59.54 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£35.94 @ Aria PC)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB Video Card (£84.88 @ CCL Computers)
Case: BitFenix Prodigy (White) Mini ITX Tower Case (£59.99 @ Aria PC)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£35.74 @ Amazon UK)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-14 DVD/CD Writer (£11.27 @ Scan.co.uk)
Total: £405.46

I would be very grateful if you have any suggestions on how to improve this build.
Thankyou!!!!

Yes you can. And update that PSU to an AX or HX corsair, dirty or bad power will kill your system. the AX and HX come with a 7 year warranty vs a 3 year with the CX.
