I'm building a computer for gaming, and like the title says, it's my very first build. I've gone through things like socket types, PCIe compatability, RPM's, and other such things, but my 2 main concerns are power and space.

Here's my build:



Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 - Mid Tower: link

Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3: link

Processor: AMD FX 8320: link

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM 3TB mechanical HDD: link

Optical Drive: ASUS DRW-24B1ST, a pretty basic DVD reader and burner: link

Monitor: Acer G206HQlbd 19.5 inch, 5ms monitor: link

PSU: RAIDMAX Blackstone RX-700AC 700W (cont): link

Memory: Kingston Hyperx Blu 8GB (1 x 8, for future upgrading ): link

Wireless Adapter: Rosewill RNX-N300X: link

Fan(s): Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 120mm Silent 4-pack: link

Graphics Card: MSI R9 280x Gaming Edition: link



Pardon me if the links are a bit long and in the way, but yeah, that's the build shooting for. I really just want some advice with this build.

So will I have enough power for all of my parts? Will all of my parts even fit? Is there some other glaring issue that I'm just not seeing? Let me know, respond to this post because I'm really anxious to start building this rig.



Thanks in advance, cheers

You should get a Hyper 212 Evo instead of those value fans. Check out the Zalman Z9/Z11 Plus its got 4 pre installed fans. Also the GTX 770 would be a Better GPU. Of course if you can afford it then an i5 would be better but that CPU will be just fine.
