Hi,
I am building a computer and I wanted to know if all the parts work together before I start buying. Also any recommendations are welcomed like more fans.

Motherboard: ASUS M5A99 FX PRO
ram: Corsiar Vengeance 16 G (4 x 4)
cpu: AMD FX-8320
gpu: MSI AMD Radeon R9 270X
hdd: Seagate Barracuda ES.2 1 TB, Internal, 7200 RPM, 3.5"
ssd: Samsung 840 Series 2.5 inch 120GB SATA III
optical drive: Samsung SATA 1.5 Gb-s
power supply: Corsair CX750 ATX 750 watt
case: Corsair Carbide serise SPEC-01

Thanks!

Yep. You got a nice little setup there mate. A Basic fan setup would be:

- Upgraded CPU fan. I use this one and it's awesome: http://goo.gl/RpS0MP
- Intake fan at the front of case (Sucking air in)
- Extra fan @ back to blow out hot...

Optional:
- Side / Top fan.

Parts are all compatible.

I would get 2x8gb over 4x4 gb on the memory.

750w is overkill unless you think you will x-fire a second 270x in the future.
Regardless I would get a different PSU then the CX series. They have weaker capacitors that are not up to the task of heavy gaming.
Ideal is a PSU from Seasonic or XFX.

Hi
I will try to do what you said. If I upgrade my CPU fan then I could buy the same CPU without the fan? also the case contains a fan in the front and back

Im kinda a noob. this is my first build

 


True. 750w is it a bit much BUT I would get one just so you know you won't have power issues.

ok Ill get your fan and get a cheeper CPU without a fan. and did you say I need extra case fans or did you just not see it. plus if I get the fan thats 150 watts so 750 watts should be good

True but Corsair is a very reliable company

Not true, CX units are very unreliable, and the higher end Corsair units that are actually good and reliable are rebranded seasonic units.
