Planning to build a pc

[cederwood]

Hey, i am planning to build a pc for myself, after long research and thinking about it this is what i came up with:

processor: fx 8320
graphics card: gigabyte r9 280x
harddrive: wd blue 1 tb
motherboard: asus m990fx r2 evo
psu: corsair cx 600
cpu cooler: (kinda doubting about this one) cm hyper 212
and corsair vengeance 2400hz 8gb ram (since linus has spoiled that bf4 likes fast ram)
i am really doubting what case to get, i love the 750d, but at this moment it doesnt really fit in my budget, any suggestions?

i will be playing some bf 3 and 4, dayz, LOL. GTA etc. so what do you guys think, do yo have any suggestions or tips?

edit: i would like to overclock in the future..

In my opinion 2400 MHz RAM is a waste. I would stick with 2133 or even 1866.
A CX600 might be a bit weak on the +12v rail if you overclock

All looks good, but I change one thing:
Get an Asus Z87 series mobo, they are brilliant for OC and they automatically OC your CPU (apart from the K mobo)

The CPU Cooler looks good
As long as you can afford the case, get it. But there are some cheaper alternatives like the NZXT Source 210

yeah, i searched for 2133 first, but than i saw 2400 was like $3 more so... and do you have any suggestions for a better psu?

I got a cx600m, a 760, a PCI-e capture card, and an OC'd 8320 (4.3GHz). Under load, Kill-a-Watt reports 434w, so it definitely is more than enough.
