MBO: ASUS M5A97 LE
CPU: AMD X6 FX-6300
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 270 OC
RAM: 8GB PC1600 CL9 HyperX Blu Kingston (is this 4GB x2?)
HDD: 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue
Power Supply: ATX SPIRE 550W Black Eagle

Have you checked on its compatibility already in a site like pcpartpicker.

Please help us help you better. I took the liberty of asking pretty much any question that I could come up with for assisting with a build. If there are any questions that I might have missed, please feel free to let me know so I can add them to my list. By answering this list I hope to help cut down on builds and/or components that do not cater to you. And hopefully aid you in getting better answers to your question quicker.

If you have already provided some of this information, and see the question below, that is merely to clarify what your posting already stated.

1. Do you need a keyboard? Any preferences? Wired/wireless/mechanical?

2. Do you need a mouse? Any preferences? Wired/wireless/DPI?

3. Do you need a monitor? If you already have a monitor/tv, what type is it and how many hz is it? Do you plan on using multiple monitors? Or do you have any monitor/tv preferences? Screen size, built in speakers, resolution, refresh, hz?

4. Do you want a blu-ray drive, dvd/cd drive, or no drive? If you already have one, what is it?

5. Do you prefer Intel or AMD processors? If you already have a processor, what is it?

6. Do you want to be able to overclock the processor?

7. Do you prefer NVidia or AMD graphics cards? Do you plan on using multiple GPUs at a later date?

8. Do you plan on overclocking the graphics card?

9. Do you want to have more options for upgrading later on, such as adding extra RAM or running multiple graphics cards together?

10. What operating system do you prefer, Windows 7 or 8.1, or Ubuntu/Linux? If you already have an operating system, then what is it specifically?

11. Does your budget include the operating system?

12. Do you prefer air cooling or liquid cooling?

13. Is there a particular case size you would like to go for, mid tower, full tower, etc?

14. Is there a particular theme or color scheme that you prefer, or a particular style case? (Please give a few examples)

15. What is your budget, minimum and maximum costs?

16. What sort of games or programs do you want to use? (Please give plenty of examples)

17. What settings, fps, resolution do you want to play those games at?

18. What country do you live in, so we can know what currency and/or sites to link for you?

19. Do you have a hard drive type preference, such as normal hard drive, hybrid, or SSD? Or do you want a smaller SSD for the operating system and a normal hard drive for saving files to?

20. Is there any other component that you already have that was not asked about specifically already? If so, what is it?

Don't get the LE r2.0 or plain r2.o mobo - poor. If you can, get a fx990 chipset mobo eg ASRock 990fx Extreme 3 or 4.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/990fx-motherboard-r...

Get the hyper 212 evo instead of the tx3 - better.

Get a better power supply - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-su...
For a pc with a R9 270 you need minimum 450W. Get Seasonic 520, Antec HCG 520M or XFX 550
You can see in that link that Spire are in Tier five - Replace immediately!!!

Well the problem is I live in Croatia, here at shops we don't have the latest parts of hardware and this is what I could come up with... and on sites like pcpartpicker they don't have some of the parts because they're too old for their data base
I have a mechanical keyboard, quite happy with it cause of the sound
I got an optical mouse wired also happy with it
Haven't actually been looking for monitors but my priority is the computor only atm, we have plenty of monitor choices at least...
I do have this one DVD RW LG DVD±R 24x, GH24NSB0 Dual Layer
I prefer AMD
Overclock it... I guess yes... Haven't actually done it before
I will only use 1 I don't really find it necessary to run more than that and again I prefer AMD
Again as the CPU I haven't actually done it before but I guess yes...
Probably extra RAM I do like motherboards with 4 RAM sockets
I have both Linux and Windows 7
I already have it
Air cooling, liquid seems complex and expensive I wanna prioritize components
Mid tower definitely
I do like shiny schemes of red and black, green and black or blue and black
I would go up to max of 700$
I use League of Legends, Diablo 3, Assasin's Creed (everything)... pretty much every popular offline game
I don't like Ultra and High settings, I guess medium is perfect for me since I got used to low settings in past...
Europe,Croatia
I was thinking about running extra SSD for OS to max out my preformance, I dont have any other preferences
I dont

For $700 you'll have to leave out the SSD.

Maybe start with Tom's - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-your-own-budg... and change GTX770 to GTX760. That then gets near $700.

What shop or website do you want to buy from?

Have you got prices for your build (in the OP)?
