Building My First Gaming PC, Need Advice

Building A Gaming PC, First Time? Need Advice

Never built a pc before or anything, but I'm sure as many of you know the elder scrolls online is released in April for PC so I wanted to build a gaming PC that would be able to cope with the game itself. I searched around a little and am wondering if this build is any good and will work as I intend it to ( High/Ultra)

AMD 6300 FX 3.5 GHZ Six Cores
Asus M5A78L-M Motherboard
8GB DDR3 Corsair RAM (all 3 of these items are in a bundle deal for around £200)
1 or 2 TB not sure yet SATA Hard Drive Western Digital or Seagate
120GB SSD
Nvidia GTX 660 (Open to suggestions on this, within the same price range around £150)
Need Advice on what PSU I would need
Will be Cooled with Fans and also will find a case cheap at a later date.

Open to criticisms on this what you think will work/ wont work
Thanks in advance guys.

Build looks good. WD hard drives have a better reputation as they are more reliable than Seagate HDD. Graphics card should play all games on high and some less demanding on ultra but try to stretch your budget and go for a 660ti for extra performance. AMD's R9 270x may also give more performance for a similar price. A 500 watt PSU should power this build unless you plan on upgrading some of your components in the future or consider overclocking. And finally as the build itself, watch this video it will explain everything you need to know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_56kyib-Ls

It will be helpfull if you mention your TOTAL budget ..

for parts:
Mobo: Asus M5a97 LE R2.0 is a bit better choice due to newer chip.
GPU: a MSI's R9 270x is far better choice. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9270xgaming2g
you can see any benchmark that it outperform or does similar to a GTX 760 which is actually better than a 660.

PSU will be Corshair CX 500m or XFX PRO 550w both are great any of them you can choose.
Case: a Antec One or Zalman Z5 ,Cooler Master K280 etc.. are great.

make sure you get 2x4 GB ram to get full benifit out of your memory unit as dual slot do give some better performance than a single. So they are far more worth.

I Priced up these parts I got them in around the £550 Mark, I don't need to buy a monitor or OS or keyboard mouse etc which is a bonus, you seem to have both mentioned the R9 270x performing the same as a GTX 760, I've found that for around £160 so shall probably go for that now, as for the PSU thanks for the advice and also it was 2x4GB RAM I was going to buy anyway I'm not planning on overclocking the PC either

Sorry Edit, I've just priced up parts to build this and got £498 not bad I don't think! if I left the SSD till I could afford that then that is £458 to build it and I could add it in later!
