1st Timer Help

[HappyHambo]

I've put together a list of components that I would make my 1st PC from. I would just like someone to check over to make sure I haven't made any noobie mistakes. Some questions, is a stock cooler OK for using with turbo on an AMD CPU. I am also wondering if my Mobo would support three more 120mm fans for extra airflow? This is the list on PCPartPicker - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/GC8dwP

Any comments are welcome! Thanks!

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor (£79.19 @ Aria PC) - don't OC this without a good cooler
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard (£39.59 @ Aria PC)
Memory: Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£57.59 @ CCL Computers) - see if you can get cl9 1866 for about the same price
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£37.99 @ Aria PC)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB Dual-X Video Card (£137.75 @ Aria PC)
Case: Cooler Master K350 ATX Mid Tower Case (£23.99 @ CCL Computers)
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply (£33.59 @ Aria PC) - can you get an XFX550 instead? Better quality.
Total: £409.69

Good build. I made some notes for 'fine tuning'

Looking at the seller website, there does not appear to be a fan controller for extra fans, a common omission in budget class matx boards. Otherwise the parts should work together, but this is coming from someone who has only build intel based computers so take that for what it is worth

Can i just ask, will all components fit in the case? Like the GPU seems quite big. Also would my Motherboard support a fan splitter cable instead of a completely new mobo?

Check the specs of the case. It should tell you max vga card length and cpu cooler height.

Check the spec of your vga card - length. Work out if it'll fit.

You can use splitter cables to run up to 2 fans from each fan header.
