My first AMD gaming desktop, How'd i do?

[xNightHawk]

My specs so far are as follows- (Under $650)
-CM Storm Enforcer ATX Mid Tower

CPU=AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core Desktop Processor

MOBO=GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-D3H FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD (Does it matter if it's Micro?)

GPU=GIGABYTE GV-R726XWF2-2GD Radeon R7 260X 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 (O.C)
Internal Drive=Western Digital WD Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"

RAM=Kingston HyperX HyperX 10th Anniversary Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3

Extra Fan for CPU=Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes

This is my first build so i am curious as to what extra wires i may need to purchase? Or does the tower have them all? Thanks for looking this over and giving me feedback! It's very appreciated!

First off, Micro does matter, since that is the form factor of your case, motherboard, and PSU.
This is what I would do. I know it's a little overbudget, but you double your RAM and you also forgot your PSU in that build. I didn't include an upgraded heat sink for now, since that is an easy part to pick up later on. Hope this was helpful to you

What if i substituted a Powercolor radeon hd 7870? That will still fit my mobo right? Thank you for the answer it has really helped me! Plus the motherboard you posted only has PCI express 2.0 slots. Most graphics cards use PCI 3.0. isn't that a problem?

The HD 7870 should still fit. PCI 3.0 still works with PCI 2.0, but PCI 3.0 slots have a faster data transfer rate. There shouldn't be a big difference.

There will be ZERO difference. Even a gtx780ti cannot use a 3.0 lane effectively. There is NO difference between 2.0 and 3.0 with modern GPUs at all.
