Okay, I've decided to get into PC gaming and I want to build my own. I'm not sure it's all 100% compatible. I'd really appreciate it if someone looked over my plans so far and gave me some feedback. Here are the components I've chosen so far:
Processor
AMD A6 X2 6400K CPU, FM2, 65W, 3.9GHz, 4MB Cache, 32nm, Radeon HD8470D GFX, Black Edition
Motherboard
Asus A88XM-PLUS AMD FM2+ A88X DDR3 mATX
RAM
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB Memory Blue
Hard Drive
Seagate 2TB Barracuda Internal Hard Drive
Graphics Card
SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X RADEON R9 290X 4GB

I'm going to recommend posting in the right sub-forum

I've reported your post to a moderator, so they should move it soon.

Creatine Monohydrate to push your CPU that little bit more.

8 Week cycle of D-bol to really max out the cores!

It looks okay dude.

What about your powersupply? going to need between 500-600 watt to run it?

It's terribly mismatched!

You absolutely do NOT pair a Kaveri with AMD's flagship single GPU!

Go for an i5 4670K with an R9 290, you'll get a far better experience.

What is your budget ? And what parts do you need ?

As already mentioned, you have a really unbalanced spec going on there with that cpu/gpu combo.
