Hey there guys, I'm planning to build my first gaming computer in the coming weeks.
I've got a few parts decided, I just need to know if all of these parts will combine and make a nice PC.
I'm from the UK, so my budget is £500,at most £550, which is probably around $900 in the U.S.
So it's not the most expensive thing in the world.
CASE: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer (£60)

MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M5A97 PRO (£80)

PROCESSOR: AMD FX-8120 3.1 GHz (£135)

GPU: ASUS 1GB Radeon HD 6850 (£90)

PSU: Antec Basic VP550P – 550W (£30)

MEMORY (RAM):
G.Skill Ripjaw - 1 x 4GB (£20)

HD: Seagate HD SATA - 2TB ST2000DL003 (£85)

That's about it, I've got an optical drive lying around, so I won't need to including that, I've also got a gaming keyboard and mouse.
All of that comes to just under £500.
Please, recommend me alternatives if they are cheaper and more powerful. I will always consider them, but may not change due to personal opinion.
As this is my first ever build, I'm trying to get everything perfect before I buy all the parts.
So that's why I want to know if these will all fit together, also, if there is any improvements that I can make for £50 extra.
Thank you for all your help.
