What motherboard, case and psu should I take for building my new pc?
I wanna get a new pc and build it myself. I already selected some parts I am planning to get and I am going for and AMD system, please dont comment my choice of AMD I respect your opninions but mine is AMD. I don't want my pc to be way higher than €650/$830/521 pounds. I will be listing the parts I have selected already and the parts I would like you guys to pick (please make sure it won't bottleneck and also isn't way to expensive because I also need to watch my price range.

Graphics card: MSI Nvidia GTX 760 GDDR5 2Gb 256-bit ( http://www.newegg.com/global/nl/Product/Product.aspx?It... )

or the XFX R9 285 GDDR5 2GB 256-bit ( http://www.newegg.com/global/nl/Product/Product.aspx?It... )

CPU: AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-core 3.5 GHz ( http://www.newegg.com/global/nl/Product/Product.aspx?It... )

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400
( http://www.newegg.com/global/nl/Product/Product.aspx?It... )

Storage: HDD Western Digital WD Black 500GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5
( http://www.newegg.com/global/nl/Product/Product.aspx?It... )

PSU: I'd like to know what voltage I need and what kinda PSU is recommended for that and is not too expensive

Motherboard: One that supports all my select opponents and is not too expensive and is an ATX type

Case: A nice case under $95 / €75 which which fits probably a regular ATX motherboard

Please tell me if I forgot something or if something just isn't right, the price of the already chosen parts is €380 / 313 pounds / $498 so I can deal with an additional €215 / 110 pound / $ 330.

Ty for reading it all and I'd really appreciate it if you got any answers

Okay, I ran the numbers. You would need a minimum 528 Watts of power to run that system, So I would suggest a 600 watt power supply, I suggest this Corsair HX650 modular power supply for approximately $55 as your best bet.

As far as a good 990FX Chipset AM3+ motherboard, I would suggest this board for $100.

As far as a case that is under $95 that would fit your needs, I would suggest this quality case that is easy to work with that provides great air flow. It is approximately $84.99.

I hope all of that helps.
