Basicly, I'm starting afresh and building my self a gaming pc I have a GTX 760 4gb already and a monitor. I have been searching around for parts and this is what I came up with. Please could you tell me if the parts are compatible or tell me if there are any better parts I have a budget of 500£ (Reminder: I do have a monitor and a Nvidia gtx 760 4gb.

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound 3.5g Tube

My case that I have selected includes dimensions via link.
Please if you can try not to suggest another case because I really want to know if these parts are compatible first, then look at your ideas on what to replace etc..

This whole build (excluding graphics card and monitor) stays under my budget at £469.59

Any help is much appreciated :D Thanks!

Oh and if you could suggest an am3+ compatible motherboard if you are going to suggest one.

Your power supply is overkill, you only need 2 6 pins PCIE connectors which is already avaiable many in good 500w quality PSUs. For the mobo, I suggest you get the Asus M5A97 because the reviews are slightly better than the MSI.

If you plan to delid:

you use the AS5 between the CPU die and the IHS and the IC Diamon between the IHS and the cooler.

If not:

In addition, the 8350 isn't needed. The 8320 will do just fine.

You can search google what delidding is.

maintaining a liquid cpu cooler is super easy, that's for AIO though. Corsair h100i, NZXT kraken, CM seidon. No need for maintenance, all set up, all you need to do is plug it in to the CPU and put the rads on the case.
