This is my first time building a PC, I'm building it for gaming, and the specs are as listed:

CPU: AMD FD8320FRHKBOX FX-8320 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition

MotherBoard: ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10)

Case: http://

Power Supply: Coolmax Power Supply ATX 700 Power Supply - ZX-700

Hard Drive: Coolmax Power Supply ATX 700 Power Supply - ZX-700

Optical Drive: LG Electronics 24X SATA Super-Multi DVD Internal Rewriter with M-Disc Support (Black) GH24NS95B

My questions are:
1. Will all this fit into the case?
2. Are all these parts compatible?
3. Am I missing anything?

Thanks!

Personally I would explore, for gaming purposes, an Intel CPU and motherboard combo, not an AMD 8-core processor/motherboard combo that you list. Most gaming techs will tell you that AMD just can't compete with Intel...which is true. AMD is good for multifunctionality, but Intel is just that much better/quicker for gaming, even though their product line of CPU's are a bit more expensive than AMD. Also that power supply isn't the greatest. Try to stick with proven quality power supply manufacturers such as Corsair, Seasonic, XFX and OCZ. Alot of people building a comp, especially for gaming, don't realize the importance of a quality PSU. It's not so much as the wattage but look for something in the 600 watt range but with a 80+ bronze or...

I don't have a preference of Geforce or Radeon cards. Both have their games that one make seems to perform better. Depends on what games you intend to play. Good luck on your build...and feel free to ask any questions you might have.

DONT BUY A COOLMAX PSU!
Buy 2 ram sticks instead of one.
What's your gpu?
What's your hdd/ssd
Motherboard is probably overkill for your budget... Get a cheaper 990FX or 970
Case probably is dependent on your gpu
You have a really flawed build here imo... What's your budget?

 
My budget is around $570. I already have a GPU (AMD Radeon HD 7750) and a backup (HD 6670). I do plan on upgrading those in the future. I'm going to be purchasing all the parts on Amazon, and I'm looking for a Mid-Range build that I can upgrade over time. Basically, I'm looking to run Saints Row 4, Skyrim, The Witcher 2, and Battlefield 3 on High. Anything less then $570 would be great, as I don't have alot to spend.
