I would strongly suggest you wait for some knowledgeable responses before you purchase. Also mention what you will be using your computer for.

On first glance, you're only getting 1 stick of RAM. That means you can't run in dual channel mode. Also, 4 GB isn't that much (my lowly netbook has that much); I'd recommend 8 GB.

That's about all I know. Others will give you a way more in-depth critique. Just wait.
 
Mobo - you won't be OC'ing much with that one but if that's not your intention, OK
Cooler - just use the stock cooler
RAM - why only 4GB? I'd get 2x4GB
PSU - a VS series unit is probably OK... I'm guessing you're in India? Usually you can find an S12II 520W for a decent price, I'd rather get that
Graphics - you can probably find a 7870 or 270X for a lot cheaper, it's almost as fast; besides, the FX-6300 may bottle neck a 760 in CPU heavy games
HDD - usually you will get much better cost per gigabyte with 1 TB drive.
Case - OK
CPU - I'd recommend an i5-4430 at minimum, preferably i5-4570/4670K. Then you don't have to buy a new CPU when you decide to upgrade the graphics card.

It would be helpful to answer these questions: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=80121
 
OP, that mobo's Northbridge gets hot like hell. You should be sure you have a good airflow in the case. Failing that, you'll need to put a fan on it.

I have one, I know.

Also, the advices from lehtv and Turbonium make sense:
1) Get dual RAM (2 sticks of the same type)
2) Get a 7870 instead of the 760, you'll save big.

URGENT! Reply with proper format for immediate reply! 😛

That's why i came in... cuz i thought it was a really urgent request...

Im also looking at his PC list... and going huh?
It seems kinda rushed... no planning really involved... and i dont see a specialized purpose for the machine.

OP please follow proper format for request... you just spam'd us with a list of parts yet you failed to tell us what the machine is for, or your total budget in the creation of the machine.
