Hi I'm looking to build a micro atx 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 battlefield and doing photoshop and school work.

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor (£57.31 @ Scan.co.uk)
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A88M EXTREME4+ Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard (£47.80 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Kingston Fury Black Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (£61.08 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£38.70 @ Aria PC)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R7 265 2GB Video Card (£99.59 @ Overclockers.co.uk)
Case: BitFenix Prodigy M Midnight MicroATX Mini Tower Case (£71.99 @ Novatech)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£35.82 @ Amazon UK)
Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WN881ND 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter (£12.00 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £424.29

I would be very grateful if any could say whether this is a good build and if you have any suggestions on how to improve it.
Thankyou!!!!!!!!

after the asrock fm2 motherboard "fire" problems (their motherboards would burst into flames... not kidding here, it was a giant problem), i have extreme difficulty recommending any asrock motherboards in the fm2/fm2+ platform. other then that it looks ok, not a huge fan of that psu... but then i generally have a high level of trust in corsair's customer service... so i won't tell you not to get it... only say there are better psus out there.
