First Gaming PC Build

Part list if you do not want the link

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor

Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard

Memory: A-Data XPG V2 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R7 260X 1GB Video Card

Case: Apevia X-DREAMER4-BL ATX Mid Tower Case

PSU: Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer [I only really plan on using it to install windows so I really only need it to work once]

Also, does anyone know of a place to get a cheap wireless network adapter capable of at least 300 mb/s

This is probably a stupid question, but where would I get the cables and screws to put this together? Also, is one of those grounding bracelets necessary and/or recommended? I am trying to save money on this wherever I can.

I also got a keyboard/mouse combo and this totals at $552 after I do the mail in rebates. I am trying to do this on a budget and would like to be at or under $560 and be able to run kerbal space program in a decent quality. I believe this can do that, but I would like opinions from the kind and intelligent people that use these forums before I go and buy all the parts. I would like to thank anyone that has read this and/or responded, as well as anyone else on this website. This website has helped me so much with PC's and I can not thank everyone enough for the kind support.

Looks good for what you've got, the cables and screws should come with the components, so should be all set 😉 Are you sticking with the stock CPU cooler for now, if not might look at the Hyper 212 EVO

At first im going to try the stock one, if it keeps it cool and it is not noisy I may keep it, but from what I have heard they do not keep it at optimal temperatures and can be quite loud.

gtx 750 ti would be a very good choice, high price/performance

Very true, even with locked CPUs I generally toss the stock cooler

I am trying to get this to come in as close to $550 as possible and the 750 puts me over budget. Also, I have a PS4 which I wish I did not buy, but being that I did I plan to use it to run the heavy AAA games like battlefield, this is just for video editing/recording lighter stuff like kerbal space program [It is a heavy game but that is CPU intensive not GPU] or MX vs ATV.
