I was wondering if this build would work such as the PSU and all parts being compatible. Also if you could find anything that would make the build slightly cheaper that would be greatly appreciated. Sorry I am a noob at this and it is going to be my first build. Thanks in advance for any help, the link for parts are below.

I found the first problem, a BIOS may be asked.

Take a look at what PCPartPicker said
Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs.

Is it ok if the CPU is better than the GPU? Also will the first build you fixed work with the PSU I had?

Yes it is fine if the CPU is better by a bit but personally I like a balance. And a FX-6300 and a 760 is pretty balance on my opinion.

And if you prefer my first build (which I made a mistake I the GPU but should be fine) the pus you had initially will work perfectly.
