Hello, I have just compiled a list of hardware items i want for my first pc gamer build. I would like to know if everything is compatible and how much power i may need, i tried an extreme power calculator but i would like human input as well.. thanks

Is this for gaming? Its super unbalanced. It will only game on low settings.

 

[Mitrovah]

yeah for games like halo 4 and modern warfare, i just want something that will play those games with good clear detail that won't have hiccups, spams and stutter. nothing particularly over the top. just as if it were an xbox 360 or playstation 3. Why not buy those you may wonder, i decided that with how things change might be more economical in the long run to replace instead of buying whole new gaming consoles every 3 or 4 years.
what do i need to change?

Hi, i agree with tiny voices, if this is for gaming, you don't have a good build, it seems it's more an htpc, productivity rig.
Could you please tell what's your budget ?

 

[Mitrovah]

1500 at the most.

You need a much better GPU. The 650 is bottom end for modern cards. To max games you want to look at an hd7870/hd7950 or gtx660ti/gtx670.

Get a PSU from Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic. 600w will be more than enough. 550w would be perfect.

is the video card the only problem?

hey I really appreciate your input but i have been doing a bit of thinking and realized i don't really miss gaming as much as i did, at least not so much i need it now. Im a student graduating and i haven't played video games in almost 3 years. i would like to buy a lower end video card just to watch movies with this monitor: ASUS VS248H-P Black 24" HDMI LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor, and when i have more money to buy the gaming video card you suggested land sell the other one to someone who is not so keen on gaming. y.. is there a lower end graphics card i can use with this monitor and the blue ray player. I plan to buy everything else on the list just a a precursor to making it a whole game/theater system some time later in the future.
