Is this a good PC build for my budget?

[Daniel Connaughton]

My budget is very strictly £515 and this is my build:
CPU: FX 8320
GPU: XFX Radeon R9 290
MoBo: Asus M5A78L
PSU: EVGA 500W White
HDD: 1tb WD Caviar Blue
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport (2x4gb)
Case: Zalman Z1

A good and fast mobo for FX 8320

Also a greater PSU is needed

Any recommendations on how to cut costs to get the better PSU?

That's the price I'm getting it for anyway. Seems to be impossible to cut costs anywhere else on the build...

FX 8320E is 95W and 600W PSU should be enough

The motherboard might need BIOS update to support FX 8320E

Edit:
XFX R9 290 is 295mm but Zalman Z1 supports cards up to 290mm
