Okay so I started on a new build and I was wandering if all the components are funtional together. I don't have much money to blow but I'm willing to change a few things out. Note that I'm buying everything from amazon.

 

Case:

Zalman Z11 Midi Tower Case. I found this case really appealing and the fact that it came with 5 fans really swayed me over other cases.

Motherboard:

A Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard seemed like a good choice If I wanted to run duel sli in the future.

CPU:

The AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core seems to me the best cpu at this price range.

GPU:

EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked ACX 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

Orginally I was planning on getting the Gigabyte version of the GTX 760 with the windforce heatsink but I'm not too sure on wether that will fit into the case.

RAM:

I chose HyperX FURY Series 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1866MHz becuase it was cheeper that G-Skill and Corsairs varients.

PSU:

For the power supply I was not too sure on what wattage I should be going for. I was thinking for the future I might make some upgrades here and there I might as well invest into a Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply Unit

Heatsink:

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo Tower Cooler for CPU

Some one told me I should get a larger heatsink but I dont know if it will fit in the case.

Storage:

At the moment I won't be putting an SSD in yet so Im stuck with one drive. The Seagate ST1000DM003 Barracuda 1TB 3.5 inch Hard Drive seems sufice.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-ST1000DM003-Barracuda-inch-Drive/dp/B006BRBSE8/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1416004817&sr=1-1&keywords=seagate+1tb

 

I think thats about It :) Tell me if I've forgotten anything!
