Casing: Cooler Master n200
Processor: Intel i7-4790
Graphic card: Asus R7 360 OC 2GB
Hard Drive: Western Digital Black 500GB
RAM: ASRock H97M Pro4Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 8GB Red
Power Supply: Corsair CX600M Bronze
Optical Drive: Asus 24X DVD Writer
Cooling: Corsair SP120 High Performance Edition

So basically these are all the components that i have decided to use. Is there any component that contradicts each other or missing necessary components? I would also like to know whether the components are suitable with the casing or perhaps give me some suggestions. Thanks in advance.

It's all compatible, but skimp on the i7 for an i5, then improve on the GPU. And there are better PSUs for $10 more.
Also, Xuebao, the budget of the build turns out to be around $700, so RMx and G2 is too much.

Much better build for ~$5 more.

The quality of the CX PSUs is reported to be pretty bad, there is the RM650x, however. Still from Corsair, fully modular, 80+ Gold efficiency. Or, there's the SuperNova G2 650 from EVGA, whose PSUs I use. Same stats, same price so far as I can tell. I think the SuperNova has a bit higher quality components, but that may be incorrect. Unless you're doing video rendering and such, you really don't need the extra power of the i7. An i5 4690/4690k will probably suit you just fine. You should get a kit of 2x4GB RAM, so you can take advantage of dual channel RAM. You really don't need an optical drive unless you already have a Windows disk and don't have a flash drive to rip the installation stuff onto. You can even order installation USBs from Microsoft, I believe. Or you can just purchase a key, 8GB flash drive and download an ISO of Windows 7/8.1/10/whatever and setup the flash drive to be used as a boot/install stick.
