Hey there folks,

As a bit of an amateur who is hoping to put a gaming rig together, I was wondering if anyone could take a quick glance through this lot to see if my choices are logical and would work well together?

I've used the site quite a bit to steer my choices in the right direction, but see what you think,

Thanks,

Andy

CPU: AMD FX6300
Graphics:Sapphire Dual-X Radeon R9 270X OC 2GB GDDR5
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 ATX (PCI-E, Socket AM3+)
Memory: 2X Crucial 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Ballistix Tactical Memory

Edit... forgot to say that I already have the case and PSU which is 650W, which I presume will be powerful enough?

I would HIGHLY recommend against using a cheap psu like that. I would never even consider plugging that into my system. Check out this list i recommend something off of tier one or two even anything on three would be much better than what you have there.
