It's my first time building a gaming pc so I could really use some help. Now those are the components I chose:

Intel Core i5 4690K / 3.5 GHz processor

XFX Radeon R9 380 R9-380P-4255 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0

Kingston - DDR3 - 8 GB

MSI H81M-E33 - motherboard - micro ATX - LGA1150 Socket

Seagate Desktop HDD - 1 TB - SATA 6Gb/s

Cooler Master GM Series - 550W

Rosewill STAR PREDATOR - ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case

Samsung Super-WriteMaster SH-224FB - DVD±RW


So please tell me if I can overclock and what it means? If this is a good gaming pc? If everything is compatible? If I already have enough cooling or if I should buy fans? If the motherboards fits in the desktop case and if my power supply has enough Watt for my gaming pc.

Sorry for so many questions but it's just my first time.

Thanks

The r9 380 will be the deciding factor in what FPS you get in games, it should be able to run all modern games well decently enough, every game will be different, and I'm not going to list them all for you, you can look up the individual games and the GPUs performance with them yourself.

If you don't know what overclocking is, don't do it. This is a better choice of system parts, everything is compatible and of good quality.

Thanks for such a quick answer, but I really wanna know what games those components together can run, on what settings, 1080p? how much fps? stuff like that. Also I'd like to keep it under 700 dollars if that's possible
