Hello i finally decided to go ahead and try to build my first budget gaming PC and i was wondering if these components would fit nicely together and wouldn't be any bottlenecking or anything like that. Here are the components i was going to use. I want to just make sure i wont run into any compatibility troubles. Thanks for the help.

Specs:
Cooler Master Elite 130 case
ASUS P8H61-I R2.0 motherboard
Intel Core I3-3240
Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB 1333MHz
geforce gtx 750 ti super clock
Samsung 840 Evo 250gb ssd
Corsair cx430 powersupply
 
Solution
If you remove the ssd, you can get an i5, better motherboard, AND a better video card.

Don't get an old 3rd gen i3 when you can get a newer 4th gen i3 4130 for the same price. I also would not get a 250GB ssd in such a budget build. You could get better parts, by starting off with a 1TB hard drive, and adding a ssd later.

But you could get more performance from 600 bucks...
