HI guys, so I've been wanting to build a gaming pc for a while. I don't have a huge amount of money, but I'd like to get as good a possible build for a max of around £620. Lots of feedback appreciated,

Fabb

SPECS:
Case : Galaxy 3 Modern Midi Tower Case
Power Supply : XFX TS650 Bronze Certified 80 Plus 650W Power Supply
Motherboard : Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3
CPU : AMD FX 6300 Six Core CPU (turbo 4.1Ghz)
Hard Drive : 1tb Sata Hard Drive
RAM : 16gb DDR3 1600mhz Branded Memory
Graphics Card : Nvidia GTX 960 2gb (Tripple screen support via DVI / HDMI / DISPLAY PORT)
Optical Drive : 24x Dual Layer DVD Writer
Connections : 6 x USB 2.0 / 2 x USB 3.0 / LAN / Sound
Software : Windows 7 Home 64 bit

Also, does the LAN part in the "connections" mean it can be used with an ethernet cable, or would I need to get a network card separately?

Thanks for reading

Thanks for the help, however I've heard issues of that GPU having oil leaks. Don't suppose you know anything about this, as I'm concerned i would build it but the. It would stop working

Thanks, just one last thing, what do you think is a good same price (or slightly more) equivalent to the GPU that would work with this pc? Just yo be sure. Thanks for your time

EDIT: Nvm, I'm happy with the current one
