First things first... I don't know shit about assembling so need help!

I have been looking on some websites to buy some cards and CPUs and i have shortlisted AMD FX 8350 and a GTX 960 (suggestions?)

 

Now this is the first time i am building a pc so i really dot know how will the components fit in the cabinet... I have read that all components come with a size marking (ex. ATX) but i could only find the motherboard and the cabinet with those, no markings for the GFX, PSU etc. Any help?

You need to do more research. Watch youtube videos from linus, newegg, carey holzman to name a few. You gotta start somewhere when you are new. I know if it might like a very impossible task, but you need to do a lot of research.

 

Also follow your own topic so you know when people reply to you.

You need a tad bit more research but the only components that have a set size is really the motherboard which comes in four or three ? ATX ( Normal sized ) mATX ( Smaller then a ATX by a  bit ) MiniITX ( which is a really tiny board for form factor pc's ) 

 

As for assembling I would go with Austin Evans guide which is really good

 

 

as for finding websites to purchase your components, most people use PCPartPicker because its easy and sorts out all of your stuff and prices and what not. 

 

and you should go with Intel CPU  for a gaming build as they are more powerful compared to AMD CPU's

 

and if you want some help for building a good build, we need your location, and your budget to start helping you out

Thanks for the help....!

So how am I supposed to know that my card will fit in my cabinet?

I already watched that video thou...

Can you suggest any other CPU then as a replacement for the fx 8350?

an Fx-8350 and a 960 should be fine for that, as far as I know

 

in terms of motherboards, the Fx series needs the AM3+ socket.

try looking through here for ideas https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/motherboard/#sort=a8&m=7,8,18,27&s=4,22&f=2&u=1 

keep in mind that the prices are american.

 

This ones a little under-budget, since I quickly scrapped some stuff together, but here, have a look at my recommended build.

Just use this as a guide to get similar items in your area.

Thanks, so I'll be going for the fx 8350 and a 960....! Should I consider getting a CPU cooler or is is the stock one ok? Also can u explain me that fans for a cabinet come in set sizes or not?
