Dont know is this is the correct section but here goes.
I am in the process of picking parts for my first build.

- Was wanting to know if this set up would be compatible together?

- What size of a PSU should i get?

I also have my doubts with the CPU compatibility. I was going to go with a "AMD Piledriver FX-6 Six Core 6300 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail" CPU but the socket is different on the motherboard.
I am after a high quality and fast cpu that doesnt break the bank (preferably under £150) and also fits this motherboard.

- Is the motherbord here i have picked wifi enabled or will i have to buy a wireless card?

- Is this GPU a good one? Has anyone used it and can it handle high end textures, games etc?

And finally.... will this set up be good for graphic design, illustration and gaming?

The parts are:

Corsair Hydro H55 Quiet Liquid CPU Cooler

BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case

MSI Radeon R9 270 Gaming Edition OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

MSI Z97I Gaming AC Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard

Kingston HyperX 16GB (2x8GB) PC3-14900C10 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Red (HX18C10BRK2/16-OC)

Blu ray Optical drive

2TB Western Digital HDD

Sorry for all the question, just want to make sure!

CHEERS!!!
 
What is your budget?

But the cpu won't work with that motherboard and I think you will need a separate wifi card.
 
i am trying to keep it around £900 or below. Though i am still questioning that MSI 270 2GB GPU. Reviews say its a great card and i think might go for it on the other hand will it really be that good? I hope so for its agreat price. Is 530w enough?
 
I was not too far off then :p

I managed to include the 280 GPU which is faster, the PSU is more than ample.
