My first pc build, will this work?

[joshmoyer]

So as the title says this is the first pc i've built, so im a bit anxious ill buy something and then build day comes and its incompatible, doesn't fit etc. So i was hoping you all could provide me with some reassurance, suggestions, alternative parts, etc. If anything i've listed on here might be incompatible please explain how so i can look for a solution. If its just an outdated part or obsolete because another company makes a similar part for cheaper etc. then just post a link to it. I'm buying all my parts off Amazon as thats probably easiest because i'm relatively new to this.
Parts List -

Xigmatek Spirit M Black Steel/ABS Micro-ATX Mini Tower Computer Case
Corsair Builder Series CX 430 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS certified Power Supply
MSI ATX DDR3 2133 Motherboard 970 GAMING
AMD FX-8320 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition

I'm also going to buy and install Windows 8.1 (I know most people hate it but i dont really mind it that bad) and i have a 32 inch tv for my monitor and keyboard and mouse from my current pc.
Any opinions or suggestions are welcome. Thanks ahead of time

Alright cool. No used parts. How does this build look? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/joshmoyer/saved

Looks great, except the B1 PSU. You really don't want that unit. It will NOT hold up under gaming or overclocking, much less both simultaneously, and is not of sufficient capacity for your GPU model AND overclocking of your hardware in any case. At least, not with that unit. If it was a very high quality 600w unit, it MIGHT be ok. I'd highly recommend at least a 650w Tier 1 or Tier 2 unit from the list I linked to earlier in the thread.

This would be a much better option:

And currently has a 30.00 mail in rebate. The initial investment is higher of course, but with the rebate, it's almost impossible to find anything even close in quality for the price.

Oh okay. pcpartpicker said the build was on 433 watts so i thought itd be good. But i think ill get the 750 just in case.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Watts don't matter. Quality matters. A good 550w unit can generally put that out at a sustained rate, or even higher in some cases. A budget or low quality unit may only be able to provide that capacity as a peak measurement, if at all, and certainly won't LAST as long if it's under demanding loads from a gaming card for the long haul.

 

[joshmoyer]

Yeah i kinda assumed. I'll go for a nicer psu if i can.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Good luck whichever way you choose or have to go.
