Any compatibility issue

[tehfunny]

Hi Guys,

I have ordered these components online :
Intel i3-3210
Gigabyte GA-H61M-HD2
Corsair DDR3 4GB 1333Mhz
Sapphire HD 7750 1GB DDR5
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM
Antec BP 300P
Haven't ordered an Cabinet yet. Looking for CM Elite 311.

So I just want to know if there is any compatibility issues with any of the component of my custom build. If so please let me know, so that I can fix it.

Thank you

Yep there is a problem your HD 7750 needs to have atleast 450W Power Supply. You can see under the key features.

Budget?

Total budget is around 450 USD or INR 27K.
If you asked about Cabby then around 35 USD or INR 2K.

The PSU is fine for my config according to the experts here
Regarding the HDD, I do not have much choice according to my budget. The options are :
WD Caviar Green 1 TB (WD10EZRX)
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB (ST1000DM003)
WD Blue 1TB (WD10EZEX)

Sorry for the FUBAR above, what I had typed and was left out of the previous post is that PCPartPicker warns that using any Ivy Bridge CPU (I3-3210) in a Gigabyte GA-H61M motherboard may require a BIOS update before the CPU will work. This means you may need a different, compatible CPU just to update the motherboard's BIOS before it will recognize the I3-3210.

No issues mate. I was a bit confused though, since you had just quoted my post 😛
I don't think there will be a problem since the Mobo is a updated revision which supports the latest 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge Processors. Details

WD imo. the green one requiers less power and the blue one has a faster reading speed.

I cancelled the Mobo and ordered a Gigabyte GA-B75M-USB3 instead. Not possible to cancel the HDD now since its already shipped.
Any other issue that I might have missed?
