Instead of posting one item at a time for parts picker post the whole system so we can see your budget too. That being said the FX6300 is adequate for most games at medium setting some at higher and some at lower. The motherboard you listed has 4 RAM sockets but you only have 1 8GB stick of RAM. I wold suggest you go for a 8GB kit (2X4GB) you get dual channel performance and if one stick dies you can still use you computer. As everyone has been commenting you got way to much power supply for a GTX 750 which only requires a 350w, and it doesn't support SLI. So I think you should either bump the VGA card up or the PS down. I don't see an O/S listed so I will assume you already have one.

My vote is at first glance it looks pretty legit. All of your components come from rated manufacturers and it seems that you probably won't encounter any compatibility problems.
Two things to always check:
- Do all sockets match (AM3+, cooler, etc.)
- Are all of your size dependent parts (PSU, case, Mobo) properly rated for one another?
