Hi everyone,
My name is Jason and im looking to upgrade my current build. Below listed are the parts im ordering along with my current mother board. This pc will be used for a bit of gaming and some music work along with school. Games i would like to play on the pc for example would be CoD advance warfare, skyrim, BF4, Diablo 3 and League of Legends. All on high or near high settings
be reminded i am on a budget. I picked these parts due to price and reviews.

Now heres my list of concerns:
Are all of these parts compatible with my mobo?
Is the 620W PSU enough power for my needs?
Are the parts i have chosen adequate enough for my needs?
Do i need a molex-3pin splitter for the amount of fans i will be using?
Should I change anything?


MoBo and Case:
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P(REV5.0)
Ultra XBlaster Mid-Tower V2 Case

New parts:
EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor
G.SKILL Value Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600)
SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply
2x Corsair Air Series CO-9050016-PLED 120mm Purple LED Case Fan
1x APEVIA CF12SL-SGN 120mm Green LED Case Fan

First, I'd really think about improving that motherboard.

Decide how much you want to spend, add about $10 and then buy the best GPU available.

At the moment.
GTX 750ti from $112.
270 from $131.
270X from $150
280 from $150
280X from $200.

Looks like a 280 should be your target. The 280 is a serious upper mid-range GPU.

PSU is very good and plenty enough. You could run that system on 450w, or less.

You don't need 16Gb unless your music work is very memory intensive. Gr DDR3-1600
If you want to split the fans, I'd do it with a Y splitter from the motherboard.
That motherboard is very minimal with few power phases and low power voltage regulation, so don't even think about overclocking.
GPU is a good low-power lower mid range model (I use one) My RPGs run at 1080p. I don't play FPSs.
