Hullo all,
I'm about to order my parts from NewEgg and I was wondering if the case I was buying (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=) has good airflow and enough space for all my components.

And also I need help with my cooler: will the stock heatsink do my FX6300 justice and keep it at moderately low temps? How loud will it be? I plan on playing games like Team Fortress 2, Planetside 2, CS:GO, Destiny when it comes out, etc.

Here is my build:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/q2jC4D

Edit: If you have any suggestions for an aftermarket fan for the CPU, please make it under 20$.
Much appreciated

Yes, it will do just fine.

However I would strong suggest you NOT get that motherboard.
The Asus is a quality board but NOT designed to run with FX CPUs. You should get AT LEAST a 970 chipset motherboard with the FX 6300.
You can also get a much better graphics card at that price.

Here :

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($108.99 @ SuperBiiz)

25$ more but a lot better motherboard and a lot more graphics horsepower.

I am not going to plan to overclock in the future with this build (since this is my first I want to save it for the next time around when I build my second one). For motherboards I tend to look for DOA rates. A lot of motherboard reviews (mostly all of them) always have 10-20 reviews saying things about DOA. So I tend to look for if it will work out of the box.

ALL manufacturers have DOA boards from time to time, it happens, whether by manufacturer or shipping fault.
So don't go by those reviews.
