No problems with the build. Everything should work fine.

A few suggestions:

- drop that PSU and get XFX 550W, much better quality
- consider adding an SSD for a system drive
- get western digital HDD instead of seagate; I've seen a fair share of issues with seagates lately, just a personal experience

As for the graphics card, optimal solutions are (from slower to faster):

- GTX 960 / R9 280
- R9 280X (get this one if you can, great value for the money)
- GTX 970

All of them are excellent for 1080p, and the last one is also very good for 1440p (280X also is, to an extent).

the fx line of cpu been dead for almost three years. amd is not making anymore cpu in that line. if you have a local micro center the 4590 non k is 160.00 and asrock has h97 mb for 70.00. the intel cpu will be faster and let you upgrade if you need to to an i7.

fully noted sir, but 1080 is my only resolution so i guess its the R9 280x then!

theres no XFX 550w here on my country, corsairs and seasonic brands are only that are available, seasonics are very expensive thats why im getting the cx600m my friend owned its 750w running for 1 year now with his 980 and 4690, i wont oc or crossfire tho

Seasonics are top notch in terms of quality (XFX PSUs are actually made by Seasonic). Are there any other options you have except Corsairs/Seasonics? What is your budget and where are you buying from (exact site might be helpful)? I can try to find you a PSU which is a better value for the money.

CX600m will be fine if all other options fail, it's just that it likely won't last as long as better quality PSUs (which usually have a warranty of at least 5 or 7 years, some of them even 10!). You might get lucky, but it's better to have warranty just in case.
