Hi guys, So im building this PC with some help from a friend and I wanted to get some help on if these parts would be compatible and work with each other. The PC is mostly AMD based :)
These are my parts:

CPU:AMD FX-6350 Black Edition CPU
CPU COOLER:Noctua NH-D15
GPU:Asus R9270X 2GB GDDR5
MB:Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard
RAM:Corsair Vengeance 8GB
PSU:Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified
HDD: Western Digital 1tb HDD
CASE:Corsair Carbide 500R microATX (It is also ATX aswell)

I have win 7 and a monitor already :) So what do ya guys think would these parts work and be good together, I plan on playing games such as bf4 on high settings (Not ultra) and games such as CS:GO, Garrys Mod, TF2, Spin tires, Beamng, Minecraft (With shaders and MODS) and Assetto Corsa. Ill get other games later

Thanks for the help guys :)

Build kind of stinks all around. CX PSU can't power properly. Weak, outdated CPU and mobo +expensive cooler even at maximum overclock will be slower than a $190 i5 will stock cooling and cheap motherboard. No SSD = long level load times. Single channel RAM bandwidth bottleneck...

Post your budget and the forum will make you a much better build.
