Hi i'm going to build my very own PC for the 1st time, and I was wondering if this is a decent gaming PC. I'm on a tight budget so this is what I can afford. Will this build work? I'm worried that one of the components wont work with the rest of the build (ex. if the gpu/cpu will be compatible with the mobo and vice versa)

-AMD FX-6300 3.5ghz cpu

-sapphire 7770hd 1GB GDDR5

-Corsair 300r mid-atx case

-Silverstone ST45SF 450w psu

-Gigabyte GA 970a-DS3 mobo

-Seagate barracuda 1TB hard drive

-Samsung SH-224BB internal dvd drive

-Crucial ballistix 8GB DDR3-1600MHz ram

I'm not a tech savvy, so feedback would be much appreciated.

p.s. this build will cost me about 600$

Get rid of the Silverstone PSU and buy this:Silverstone doesn't make reliable power supplies.

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

I changed the psu to a XFX Core Edition PRO 550W psu and changed the case to a corsair 200r. it will still be compatible, right? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013
