FX 6300
Gigbyte GA-990fxa-UD3
Crucial 240 GB SSD
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1866
Corsair CX 750W

I already have an r9 280x.

Does anyone thoughts on the above build? I am looking to purchase this as soon as possible.

I don't mind overclocking the CPU in the future.

But if anyone had any other options.

Budget is €600 with out GPU.

Thanks
 
If you're on a budget, go for a large HDD rather than and SSD, plus a good 600W PSU will be plenty for power. Don't go with RAM at 1866 unless it's the same price as 1600, there isn't any tangible performance boost.
Apart from that it looks good to me.
