Currently building my first pc (used for gaming/everyday use) and would like some feedback on whether or not this setup is compatible. I don't want to buy the stuff and then having the PC explode on me.
Current setup :
CASE : COOLER MASTER HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 Black SECC/ ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower
CPU : AMD FX-4130 Zambezi 3.8GHz Socket AM3+ Quad-Core Desktop Processor
GPU : ASUS Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16
MOTHERBOARD : ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
POWER : RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W ATX12V V2.2
RAM : G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB
HDD : Western Digital WD Blue WD7500AZEX 750GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
Thanks again folks!

So your current specs are pretty decent, but I would recommend a Intel i3 or Intel i5 rather than a AMD CPU.
If you need help seeing if parts are compatible, I recommend PCPartPicker.com. It is a really good site to use.

There's no such thing as an Intel power supply. If you mean CPU, you're right, but everything is compatible here.

If youre still here op or if you check in you can trust what r00t said hes trusted Alot
And if you do have to save up a little bit more for a certain part it really is worth it no need to bottle neck
