Hi guys, my first time building a PC so I thought I'd do a final check of the components before I start ordering them all. I'm just starting off with a cheap build to update later on. So far the list is as follows (living in UK and buy most stuff from Amazon):

Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 LGA1150 M-ATX Motherboard (£35 Amazon)
CPU: Intel Core i3 4130 Dual Core CPU (£85 Amazon)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R7 260X OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (£83 Overclockers)
RAM: HyperX FURY Series 4GB DDR3 1600MHz (2 x £30 Amazon)
HDD: WD 750 GB 2.5-inch SATA Internal Hard Drive (£36 Amazon)
Case: EZCOOL K2 black ATX & MATX PC computer desktop (£24.00 Amazon)

This totals around £355.00. My main issue is will the graphics card fit nicely on a micro-ATX board without taking too much room from other components. Besides this do the parts look generally acceptable to piece together and decent value price-wise.

Thanks for your help. :) 

Edit: Adding PSU: EVGA 500B 500W 80+ BRONZE PC Power Supply (£36 Amazon)
Also planning on getting Windows 8 OS

Do you need an os?

besides that, it looks good, and the gpu should be fine.

Ok thanks for your input, I did have the evga 500b beforehand but I saw the case and thought I could save a bit of cash, I wasn't sure whether it was a good idea or not though!
