First build - compatibility

[Dr_Splendid]

Hey guys.

I have never built a computer before but decided I'm finally going to do it and get a decent gaming pc. I've got a list of parts and from what I can see, they are all compatible with each other and the best price for performance. However, I have pretty much no idea what I'm doing so would appreciate a confirmation and some recommendations. I want to be able to run games such as witcher 3 / fallout etc. with good fps. I do not have a high budget at the moment. Thinking of around £500. Also wish it to be upgradable in the future, being able to build it up in the end to an absolute beast. Right here's the list of parts I'm considering:

Graphics card: Gigabyte GTX 950 2gb
PSU: Seasonic S12-ii 520W
HDD:Seagate ST1000DM003 3.5 inch 1TB Barracuda Hard Drive
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2x8gb 240 pin DIMMER DDR3 PC3-12800 memory module
CPU:AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core (3.5/4.1GHz, 8MB Level 3 Cache, 6MB Level 2 Cache, Socket AM3+,
MOBO:MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 ATX Motherboard (PCI-E, Socket AM3+)
Fan: Cooler Master R4-L2R-20AG-R2 Sickleflow 120mm

Also would they all go into this case?
CIT goblin mesh case

Thanks for having a look and look forward to any advice you can give

Thanks for the welcome and the advice

How much difference does the 8gb ram make to the 16gb for gaming. Also with the SDD, what's the advantages of having it over the HDD? I know it's meant to be faster but as I say I'm not that knowledgable in computer parts.

Thinking of over clocking aswell so what heat sink/fans would you recommend?

Thanks again for your help

So would you recommend over clocking or do you reckon I'd be good without? If I wasn't going to over clock would you recommend getting some cooling anyway?

Thanks again for your help

Ok I won't overclock for now then. Is the cooling just to stop the computer making noise? Bit of a tight budget atm so if i can get away with not buying it for now, then I'll just leave it till my next pay cheque. Thank you very much for all your help, I will definitely use the shopping list you provided for me
