Compatility and space check?

[thesuperguy]

I have spent well over 5 hours researching a cost effective part list for my first build and I would like someone to look over this list to ensure that everything is compatible and will fit properly with each other as I do not have much experience in this domain. I am pretty sure all the sockets and ports should fit but my main concern is that certain parts might obstruct others and make my world (and my $700) come crashing down.

ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+ AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ Six-Core Desktop Processor

HIS iCooler H777F1G2M Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Rosewill Blackbone Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Rosewill Stallion Series RD400-2-SB 400W ATX 12V v2.2 Power Supply

G.SKILL Value 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9S-4GBNT

Thanks in advance.

Hi mate , change your board to a ATX motherboard unless you don't mind a midget board in your ATX case haha , also ramp up the wattage on your PSU to about 500 - 600W just to have a bit of leeway when using your system as the 7770 is a pretty powerful card and needs power. And IF you can get 8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM rather than the G.Skill Value Ram. Other than that everything else seems fine

I dont see a processor in there ........

Its better if you use the format suggested in the thread about how to ask for advice . If you have $700 to spend on hardware you can do better ....

Sorry, I actually managed to forget to list one of the most important parts. Dumb me :/

And the reason I have so many compromises is because I'm trying to remain under a certain budget but trying to maximize performance at the same time. Spending $700 on the computer itself is not an option as I have to add shipping and taxes plus I need to purchase an operating system and monitor.

Unfortunately, upgrading my wattage will be difficult because it comes packed in a combo with the case, hard drive and RAM. It will be hard to find such a deal.

Hmmm if you don't have any other choices then that build should be fine.
