BUILDING MY FIRST COMPUTER

[tgemayel]

Hey guys,

I am trying to build my first computer and I am trying to ball on a budget with room for expansion for when I can scrum together some extra cash. My main question for the user community here on toms hardware is is this build compatible? and is it a good build for the budget? I really love the case and need a graphics card that can run dual monitors with decent quality. I appreciate any help, comments, and tips you have.

It seems compatible to me, but you might need a power supply to go with that
