Will these parts work together?

They'll work together and the PSU's fine yes, but I think you'll need to OC that 6300 if you don't want it bottlenecking that 780 of yours...which means that the PSU may not be fine at all in that case...

I have to ask though, why still opt for the 6300 in 2017 when there's far better options for about the same price?

Are there really better options for the same price? And I'm not concerned about bottlenecking the 780, this is for my younger brother, who is coming from 6gb RAM, Core 2 Quad Q6600, and a 750 Ti. We're just going the cheap route to get him back in the game, so he can at least play GTA V with me and whatnot.

Absolutely yes. Intel's new Pentiums and i3s tend to outperform the 6300 in several aspects while remaining in the same price range. Also, they're composed of much newer technology so you stay up to date and whatnot. Check out the Pentium G4560 and G4600 and slap a cheap little H110 chip MoBo in there and you got yourself a much better rig with a more updated feel to it and a better upgrade path to boot.

I'm not the type of guy who trolls in serious PC forums like these. It's honestly a lot more reasonable to get the new-gen Kaby Lake Pentiums than the almost 3 year old AMD FX series CPUs. The former even has hyper-threading now which makes it act like it has 4 cores when really there's only 2 physical ones.

I'm confident GTA 5 will run amazingly well on a G4600/G4620 and a GTX 780. (not sure if there'd be a bottleneck though. I'll have to research on that and get back to you, but GTA 5 tends to be a CPU-oriented game anyway)

Well, I really can't tell if you're pulling my leg so, thanks for the help that you did provide. And I'm well aware that an FX-6300 will outperform just about all of the i3's and all of the Pentiums.
