Hey everyone, I posted here a while back about my parts and everyone said it was a good build, however I've changed some things. Here is what I have now:

I just need confirmation that this is all compatible and that the parts will fit the case.

Thank you.

also just be aware that not all i5 chips are created equal. the i5 that trades blows with the 8 core FX is the 4570k, 4670k, or 4690. they are all ~50% better in single core performance over the FX 8320/8350. But the i5 4440 is not only a locked processor, it only has around ~15% gains in single core performance compared to its big brothers above. And the FX can be overclocked to fill the gap. but either way it should do well for some time.

I have no idea why that build says that the Radeon is £173 when on the website it's £224. Sadly, it's way above my budget.
