I'm just wondering if this is a good build. I'm planning to buy it after a couple weeks after school starts.

Here is the build:
http://secure.newegg.ca/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=30939467

I want to put an SSD in there for faster boot times and programs because I do Photo-Editing/Video especially for school, and I just like the overall price point for a 120GB SSD. But I'm not entirely sure if it's needed. If I take it out of my build I can upgrade my GPU to the R9 270/x or even get an i3/FX-6300.

I hope you guys can help, thanks for the future help :p

mATX is compatible in an ATX case it uses the same case stand off's (just less) than a full ATX motherboard.

That looks good, but you have an ATX case and a micro-ATX motherboard. I am not sure if that will work together, likely not. The motherboard is built for a smaller case. You will have to change one or the other. Preferably, look for an ATX motherboard to fit the larger case.

Yeah I was gonna go for the Cougar Spike but this is only $3 more bucks and it comes with better Fans, Airflow, and space so why not! Any ideas if the G3258 will bottleneck the R9 270 or R7 265? I'm planning to mainly play BF4 at 720p (Saving up for a 21:9 Monitor) I'm currently using a laptop with a P6200 and I'm fine with the performance in Lightroom and if the Fx-6300 or i3-4130 gives a bit of performance I'm not interested lol

I was looking to get an i3 4130 with the r7 265, is it worth the downgrade of the gpu? If I get the G3258 I could get a 212+ cooler, and a H97 Motherboard so down the line when the next series of intel comes out (after broadwell) I can find broadwells cpu on sale which will be nice... or just go to the i3 and just get an i5 haswel down the road? and yeah I will overclock it to 4ghz but if it seems to bottleneck too much I'll push it to 4.5ghz~
