WAY too much PSU. Get a 500w unit from Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic.

Get a cheaper case.

Use the saved money to get a better GPU.

Which GPU do you recommend?

I would actually do the entire build differently. With the money saved from the PSU and case, you can get an i5 3350p + an h77 motherboard + better GPU.

If you want to keep the CPU as the fx6300, get a 500w PSU from the brands I listed and get an hd 7870. You can get a good quality PSU for around $60.

I can tell you they are all very wrong.

Ditch the sound card.

Get a 550w PSU.

Get regular speed RAM (1600mhz). 2400mhz won't even work on that motherboard. It will revert to 1600mhz anyway.

Dropped worthless LAN card because motherboard has a better onboard lan card.

Thanks man, I know you are probably thinking I am the most retarded person on the internet 8). Im going to have to play wireless so, what do I need?

You need a wireless card. You can either get one which is USB operated or one that is a PCI card which connects directly to the motherboard. I can help you choose one if you like. Do you prefer USB or PCI? They both work about the same.

EDIT: you aren't retarded. Everyone has to learn about this stuff somehow.

There are cheaper options but you will sacrifice speed.
