Title says most of it. I am getting my first gaming rig, and its a budget rig at that and I was wondering if these components work well together or not. I got these for exactly £500

AMD FX 6300 Black Edition CPU
Zalman CNPS5X Performa Cooling
Gigabyte 970A-DS3P MOBO
8GB Corsair 1600mhz Vengeance (2x4GB) RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB GPU
22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA Optical drive
Onboard 7.1 Audio
1TB SATA III 6.0GB/s HDD
550W Corsair VS PSU
Zalman Z1 Case

Sorry if some of these are irrelevant, im particularly concerned about that motherboard. Thanks in advance.

All the components would work well together. However I strongly disagree with your choice of a vs 550. the vs series of psu's by corsair are known for their unreliability and...

all the components are fine and it will not bottleneck but you should think on your PSU because VS series is an entry level series from corsair so you should get a better power supply than that.
I'll suggest you to get an Seasonic S12-II 520 or M12-II 520 (if you want a semi-modular PSU).

I suggest you get atleast an antec vp550p or a seasonic s12-II 520 or atleast a cx 500( though I wont recommend it)
And as for the gpu try annd get an r9 280 which is at the same price as the 760 and performs better thann it. and it has gcn and mantle
