Is This A Good Gaming Build?

[Connaa2000]

I've put together some parts, and was wondering if they are good for gaming and compatible or not?

I can get them all for £368.

they are compatible, yes. However,

-corsair cx power supplies are junk.
-you have an overclocking cpu and no cooler. if you are going to overclock that is not going to work.
-500w isnt enough if you plan to overclock. minimum 550w.

here is a good psu.

Good? Really depends on your needs. However for myself it's not a very good build.

The CX series are simply terrible for gaming PC's. It has low quality components and it is not worth taking the risk if you are gaming or doing heavy tasks.

The CPU is fine for it's price but it's not going to perform very well. It's a very entry level CPU. Something like the i3 4170 will do much better.

How about this PSU? I really need next day delivery and the XFX 550W is out of stock EVERYWHERE. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Modular-Certified/dp/B00ALYOTTI

Also, what cooler do you recommend that is compatible with this motherboard, i3 4170 cpu and case?

Okay, so. I've changed up the build a little. What do you think?
