Is this a viable gaming build? It may not need to be the best, but has to be:

1. Able to work.
2. Has a decent gaming potential.
3. Be somewhat cost efficient.

If it meets all 3 requirements, please let me know.
Also, feel free to give me recommendations on anything except for CPU (I will not change it).
(I am on a budget of around $700, so please don't give me a $10000 build. ;D)

Thanks to anyone who contributes!

I don't recommend the FX6300 at all, but you said you weren't willing to change it, so I at least recommend these changes. This would give you some extra money left over to get a stronger video card like a 290, or a ssd, or a cpu cooler to be able to overclock. You are going to want to overclock as much as possible if you stick with the FX.

Thank You SOOO much! I changed the parts list over the past days, and it pretty much matches yours other than the power supply. Thanks for the conformation!
