Gaming PC: will this configuration work?

[Fortitudo]

Hello! I'm currently looking for new hardware in order to build a gaming PC and this is, so far, the configuration I like most. Is it viable, though?


Case: Cooler Master Elite 430;
PSU: Aerocool VP Pro 700W;
Mobo: Asrock 990FX Extreme 9;
CPU: AMD FX 8350/9370;
GPU: Ati Radeon R7 2GB DDR5;
RAM: 8/16GB DDR3;
Cooling system: Nepton 140XL;
HDD: 1x 1 or 2TB HDD;
ODD: Blue-ray drive;
Card reader: All-in-one card reader.

Thank you in advance for your comments!

Forgive me, jbrown156, I've been inaccurate. I'd like to install an Ati R7 250.

the gpu will be fine for playing lighter games on high and demanding titles on low to medium .. its currently not up to the standard for a modern gamer but if your not picky with graphics you will be fine. i ould suggest and upgrade to something from the r9 series and you will get a much better gaming experience

Thank you for your suggestion, I will keep it in mind when it comes to making the final decision! My main concern is the compatibility of the cooling system and the case...
