Yes, with the exception of that mobo and WD green drive. Case is subjective. 

Spoiler

Corsair 400C- Intel i7 6700- Gigabyte Gaming 6- GTX 1080 Founders Ed. - Intel 530 120GB + 2xWD 1TB + Adata 610 256GB- 16GB 2400MHz G.Skill- Evga G2 650 PSU- Corsair H110- ASUS PB278Q- Dell u2412m- Logitech G710+ - Logitech g700 - Sennheiser PC350 SE/598se


Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

hold just a min

 

that mobo you are using now will not power your FX 8 core

 

 

you need to change the mobo to at least the Gugabyte 970 UD3P or 990FX if you want to OC the heck out of your CPU

 

and you need to change the cooler to the 212 Evo/Plus

Why not go intel since you need to swap motherboards anyways since that board will probably overheat and shut down your rig

Good? I'm only planning on upgrading RAM (buying another stick), CPU, GPU, HDD, case. I already bought the new PSU.

 

Go for it. Check out other motherboards though.

Guys not planning on overclocking. The new BIOS update for that motherboard lets it support the FX 125w series. 

even with no OC

 

the VRMs on the mobo is trash

 

your 8 core FX will throttle on high loads

Basically avoid any micro atx mother boards that you are using for 6300 and higher, listen to dragon. Asus vrm's are usually really good, but that is not the case since that board is really really outdated. Get either the UD3P, M5A97, Msi Gaming 970, or 990FX, but i'd rather get intel at this point, a cheap b85 board + i5 is a good combo, i believe its cheaper as well
