I am hoping to build this build as soon as I get the money for it. Are all these parts compatible with each other? Will I need to buy more cables or anything like that? Or more power?
Coolermaster Rc 430 mid tower case
Amd FX 6300
8gb corsair ram
1TB 7200rpm Hard drive
Radeon 7870 OC
Asus M5A78L-M LX V2 Motherboard (Socket AM3+, M-ATX, DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 3000,Turbo Key)
My budget is £500
