PC Gaming compatibility

[aurelionsol]

I have made a list for a new budget computer I want to build, for gaming and my budget is 600 pounds sterling. Here are the components:

AMD FX6300 Black Edition Hextacore CPU AM3+ - CPU
Asus DDR3 AMD AM3+ - Motherboard
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1.5V RAM 1600 MHz - RAM
FAN Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 - Fan
Aerocool Intergrator 500W 12cm PSU Black - PSU
AMD Radeon RX 480 8gb
1TB SATA - HARD DRIVE

I am literally on the verge of going above my budget. Will they be compatible. Please keep in mind its the first time I am building a PC.

Compatible yes, recommended, no.

The AM3+ platform is dead, there are no further CPUs being released and the ones that do exist offer pretty average performance. You'll be far better served with this:
