Good build i would get the r9 270 if i were you and get a cheaper PSU like the CX600 or CX500. Go for the CX500 if you are not going to upgrade your GPU and CX600 if you will in the future. Could not get any better for the price good job.

The fan comes with the CPU and usually if you dont play for 2 hours straight the temperatures will stay at 60-70 degress which is ok for a cpu. Althought if you want your cpu to stay cooler and the fan quiter then you can get an aftermarket heatsink.

If you're going to be video editing/rendering then stick with the 6300 but if you're going to be mainly gaming then I would choose the i3-4130 since it's better for gaming and it has lots of upgrade options. I would also try to go with the R7-265 or a R9-270. The R7-260x is a good card but you won't get the best value.

thanks but i think i'd stick with the fx6300, is cheaper in my country and i got the r7-260x at a good price.
i'm going to buy this build and in i'll save some money to buy the heatsink :)
