I am trying for the first time to build a custom gaming pc that will be able to run certain games such as league of legends , wow, dayz and countless more. i have no real knowledge of computer parts except for what i need etc. below are the parts i have found and i am wondering if these parts are 1 compatible with each other, 2 will they be able to run these games as requested and 3 is there any upgrades that would be recommended to improve this system if it is terrible.

Case - Zalman ATX Z3 PLUS Case White (No PSU)
CPU – AMD FM2 A8-6600K 4.2GHz Quad Core CPU with Radeon HD 8570D
Graphics card – AMD R9 270X 2GB MSI Gaming PCIe Video Card PN R9270X-GAMING-2G
Motherboard - ASUS A88XM-A FM2+ MicroATX Motherboard
Memory - DDR3 8GB (2x4G) 1866MHz Kingston HyperX RAM PN KHX1866C9D3K2/8GX
Power supply - 600 Watt Zalman ZM-600GV Power Supply


i have a couple of hard drives and operating system but all together this system costs me $961 Australian dollars.if there is any suggestions to how i can improve this gaming system further more i am willing to pay up to $1200 for a decent gaming system that will allow me to play current and future games with a decent amount of fps and hopefully no freezing.

Thanks.
