As title says I'm building my first pic, well me and a buddy who has done it before. I have a component list and was wondering if it will all fit together with fit in the mother board. Any input or changes would be great. Somewhat of a budget build, going to be used for just gaming thus the low memory, and no optical.

Motherboard- gigabyte ga-970a- d3sp

Cpu- Amd fx-6300 6core

Ram- ballistix sport 4gb ddr3

Video- amd Radeon hd 5780

Memory- we 500gb blue

Case- (to be determined any suggestions would be great)

Power supply- antec tp 550 (550watt)











 


Mostly been playing eso and league of legends, some diablo 3. Next fall will be looking into putting a few newer parts into it. Newer graphics card. I got the amd for free.

Just want to make sure this will work toether for the year pretty much
 
Going to assume this is a budget gaming rig...

CPU - Fine choice.
CPU Cooler - Don't forget one.
MB - Fine and all, but there are cheaper options that are still good.
MEM - The AMD platform likes faster memory, but no need to go over 1.5v. Look toward DDR3-1866 modules with a latency of CL10 or lower.
GPU - Pretty old... Look toward something newer in the GTX 700 series or AMD R7 lineup.

That being said, and at a $500 budget level, you are better off with the system below. It has a more powerful CPU and GPU... You could cut the memory down to 4GB to get to a more even $500.
