16GB of ram? Way too much mate. 8GB will be just fine. Using the money saved, get a decent Intel/Samsung SSD to speed PS up a bit.

you can save on the ram with only getting 1 of the 2 kits, the noctua fan is also not really needed and since its a non k card a cheeper cooler would do fine. that would save you enough money to get a good quality SSD for a boot drive.

CPU: AMD FX 6300 @4.2GHZ | MSI 970A-G 46| Gskill Sniper 2X4GB 2400| Samsung 840 EVO 120GB| NZXT Phantom 410 gunmetal|

Apevia 680W Iceberg| HIS R9-270X| WD green 3TB|

It looks good.

But I don't think you need the cpu cooler, the stock intel cooler does a good job on non-k processors you might need an aftermarket cooler if your temps get a bit high.

Steve Wozniak - "Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window."                                                                                                                                               Carl Sagan - "If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe."

My computer runs on MSX, Its very hard to catch.

Everything else looks good. Since it's under 800, get a SSD to speed things up.
