Hey I'm building a new PC and I wanted to see if you thought this would all run okay:

• PROCESSOR : Intel Core i5 4690K 3.5GHz
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00KPRWB9G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

• GRAPHICS : Sapphire R9 270X 4GB
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FOR0086/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

• POWER : Corsair CX 500W

• MEMORY : Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8GB (4GBx2)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004CRSM4I/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

• MOTHERBOARD : Gigabyte Z97P-D3 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00K9R1OCW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

• CPU COOLER : Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0068OI7T8/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

I was mainly wondering if the motherboard would be okay as its a little cheap. Thanks!

The best advice I can give you.
Buy a higher quality power supply the CX series are pretty much just junk!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-ATX-550-Power-Supply/dp/B004RJ8EKI/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1437262939&sr=1-2
Buy memory with a lower profile without those freakishly tall heat sinks their just for looks and will get in the way of that CPU cooler.

That motherboard will work just fine but is not the best for overclocking although a decent overclock can be reached in the 4.2 / 4.4 area.

I currently have a 500W CX and its doing me fine. However, I think I might go for the 600W Bronze efficiency.
Okay So I have changed a few things. One being the power supply and the other the Memory RAM:

• MEMORY : HyperX FURY Series 8GB (2x 4GB)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J8E91T0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

• POWER : Corsair CX 600W Bronze
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009RMP44O/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Do you think this would be better ?
