Does everything look ok? (Gaming Build)

Hello, I will be getting my gaming build in about 3 weeks and i just wanted to see if everything is going to work together.

I have a few more questions;

1) Will this build be powerful enough to run games like; World of Warcraft, Empire total war and Counter Strike:source all on max/high settings?
2) Will everything fit in the case?
3) The Mobo is only £48 but it seems to have some good features like 4 ram slots and it supports AM3+ - is there any flaws to this mobo?

Thanks, Calvin.

^ Nice parts,... as for your questions -

1. Yes, the HD 6870 can easily handle those listed games @1080 Full details,..
2. Yes, the 922 is a very good case, but for a single card, you can look at something cheap too,...but its your call

3. No issues with the board except that it is not having USB3.0,... As the tech is becoming more common, I would suggest a board with that

And HDD - Samsung F3 1TB - This is cheaper and as good or maybe even faster

You can buy a CPU cooler and overclock that CPU if you are comfortable with it,...

I agree with all of the above, also a cheap motherboard usually means youre quite limited with overclocking.
