Can someone check this build? Here's the link http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nCwJgs . I want to make sure everything will work before i buy it. I have windows, mouse, screen, keyboard, and cd/dvd drive. It says that i need to remove drive bays to fit the video card, it this difficult? Thank you for your help!

Normally I wouldn't recommend a 6300 due to AM3+ being an older socket, but for this budget I'd say this is a pretty good build. Definitely beats a comparable i3 anyway.

Depending on the case, the drive bays should pop right out or at the most require the removing of a couple screws. Not difficult at all.

Better PSU and a case that can fit the graphics card without removing drive bays.
