If you're sticking strictly to your own build then its all compatible. The PSU is poor quality tier 3. If possible get something else, I can recommend some if needed. If you dont mind someone elses input give Budget and we can try to make other builds for you to also consider.

Ok thank you what PSU would you suggest?

xTempered · Jul 24, 2014

Looking at both Newegg and Amazon the price for the CX600M is around $60-$70, Cheapest on pcpartpicker is $50 after a $20 rebate.

Your build will pull around ~350w-400w

So staying within that range I'd suggest these.

XFX 550W 80+ Bronze $50 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

SeaSonic 620W 80+ Bronze $70 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze

Rosewill 550W 80+ Bronze $60 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-power-supply-hive550

If you plan to overclock your cpu in the future then you should get the Asus M5A97 R2.0 mobo (not LE version). The LE does not have a heatink and is not great for overclocking.

+1 for changing to either the Seasonic or XFX PSU

Thank you for your feedback and I think I will go with the R2.0.

So taking everything into consideration would this be a good gaming build?
