AMD FX8350 Black Edition 8 Core

Thermaltake Versa G2 Midi Mesh Gaming Case USB3

ASUS® M5A97 LE R2.0

8GB KINGSTON HYPER-X FURY DUAL-DDR3 x 2

2GB AMD RADEON™ R9 270

If I was you, I'd consider an Intel CPU, instead of an AMD one, and if you are planning to game on med to high settings, those are not the components you would look to buy- get better graphics card.

Anyways, if you are on a budget, yes this system is physically compatible, GPU fits in case, etc

However, to use the AMD 8350 you would have to do a bios update on your motherboard which is not a big issue.

And get a CPU heatsink- cooler master hyper 2012 evo, for overclocking/using the AMD 8350- https://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2

For the PSU, this will just run the system, but I'd recemmond a 550w PSU just in case-

looking for budget so going to keep those component i think except the motherboard? its not so much for gaming but a drawing program can rhino or rhinocceros or something.
