[Build Ready] I have my parts selected. I'm not 100% sure if they're all compatible?

    Hi! I'm building my first custom gaming PC. I have done a lot of research related to the compatibility of the parts I have selected, but I'm still not 100% confident as this is my first time. I'm buying them from Hardwareversand.de, which seems to be a trusted retailer for computer parts. My budget is around €700. Could someone with a bit more knowledge than me please look over these parts and spot any problems if there is any? Also, is this CPU-Cooler good for overclocking? The parts which I have selected are as follows:

    Motherboard: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0, ATX, AM3+

    HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200 1000GB, SATA 6Gb/s

    CPU: AMD FX-8350 Prozessor, Boxed, Sockel AM3+

    Graphics Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 OC WindForce 3X, 3GB GDDR5, 1x DVI, HDMI, 2x mini-DisplayPort

    RAM: 8GB-Kit G.Skill RipJaws-X PC3-14900U CL9

    Power Supply: Thermaltake Berlin 630W

    Case: Zalman Z11 Plus Midi Tower - schwarz, ohne Netzteil

    CPU-Cooler: Scythe Katana 3


    Thank you for your time.

    Can't say much about compatibility but two things:

    1. Your motherboard and case choices have no delivery date on hardwareversand so they might be out of stock.
    2. Run everything through Geizhals.de if you've not already when you're happy with the build. You might make some decent savings.

    I won't be buying this for another month or so, just finalising everything.. Is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO better for overclocking than the Scythe Katana 3 (that I have listed)? In your opinion. Yeah I found out about that trick! I saved about €30! Happy days!

    In a month the prices may have changed a bit too. Best thing is to start a new thread then and see what folks suggest.
