    This is my first time building a computer and have done a lot of research. I have selected some parts and am just wondering will they all work together, any changes I should make and what kind of performance would it produce? I will be using for everyday use and will be playing some games (not looking for ultra high graphics, maybe Arma3, other simulations etc.
    Any feedback would be appreciated. Sorry I can't leave links to parts.

    Motherboard: MSI A78M-E45 - Socket FM2+ - Micro-ATX
    CPU: AMD A series A8-6600K - 3.9GHz - Socket FM2
    Graphics Card: ASUS Radeon R7265-DC2-2GD5 - 2GB - PCI-E
    SSD: Samsung 840 Evo Series 120GB
    HDD: Western Digital Blue - 1TB
    RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB - PC3-12800 - DIMM
    Power S: Seasonic M12II Bronze Evo Edition - 520 Watt
    Case: Antec VSK-4000E

    Extras include, blue-ray drive, a internal card reader, and a Wireless N600 PCI-E Adapter
