I want to build a gaming rig but dont know what parts are compatible or which psu is better for each graphics card so i decided to come on here and ask you guys!

I just want a pc that can run minecraft with shaders, Battlefield 3 and crysis 2.

I will also need a new OS so if you could add that to the budget that would be great!

Thanks in advance!
 
400 build with/without OS
