Hi guys im trying to build new gaming rig my budget is ubber tight i live in UK, my old system is out dated i have saved the following parts (they are basically new)

Kingston 120GB SSD Solid State Hard Drive Drive
Kingston 60 GB SSD Solid State Hard Drive Drive
2X4GB DDR3 1333MHz
windows 8 install disk and new key


i have costed up the following new parts = (£357.82)

Aerocool GT Advance Mid Tower

CORSAIR CX series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Rev.6.0 AM3+ FX USB 3.0 PC Gaming Motherboard 7.1 Sound

AMD FX-8320 3.5 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2

seagate Barracuda 1 TB Internal ,7200 RPM, 3.5

Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5

Artic silver 5 thermal compound


Can you guys see any issues with the parts list? i was planning on installing windows to 120gb ssd and using hard drives (1tb and 60gb) for installing games -- is that the best setup?


can anyone confirm the motherboard will recognize the cpu out the box?
will there be heat issues?
is the case/ms big enough for graphics card and cooler

finally any major bottle-necking? (from checks done online 1333 ram isnt noticeable different from 1600 in games) im not worried about that unless you pros know something i dont.

btw im building this so i can play new gta, mass effect 4, xcom 2
 
Solution
Drop to a 6300 mate , go for a better board & PSU
The 78lmt only has sata 2 , it cripples ssd speeds somewhat & doesn't support any fast boot or hibernate options properly.

The 950 is simply head & shoulders above the 750ti.

I have already have the drives though :p nor sure if I should install windows 8 to larger one or not now. I was planning making 120gb primary boot drive so it boots fast and windows doesn't slow system down. That's normally better setup isn't it? Or should I just install OS to hard drive..
