I'm building a custom desktop computer for my friend, and I wondered if this was a good build. I'm thinking in the 750 - 850 $ class

Edit: This computer is going to be used for mostly gaming ;)

Motherboard: (as cheap as possible)
MSI 970A-G43, Socket-AM3+

CPU:
AMD FX-6300 Black Edition

Memory:
Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Elite 1866Mhz 8GB (these just looks sweet)

Case:
Cooler Master HAF 912 Adv. Limited Edit. (almost the same as the regular cooler master haf 912)

PSU:
Cooler Master G750M, 750W PSU (got a good price for this, almost as cheap as 650W)

GPU:
Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 4GB GDDR5

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler


I already know a bit about building computers, but I would appreciate any tips and thoughts about this build ;)

(I'm not really sure about the budget, since things cost more here #Norway)

The mobo you picked is know to have overheating issues. Try to get the Gigabyte GA97-UD3P, it is the best mobo option out of the 970 chipset mobos, around $70-$80 USD usually.

The 4GB version of the 270x is a waste of money, you can probably find the R9 280 3gb for the same price except the 9 280 is powerful enough to start using the 3gb vram.
