Hi, I'm a noob when it comes to PC building, so I want advice on whether this build, that I've designed, will work before I buy all the parts
Here's the specs:
• Case: CM Enforcer
• Mobo: MSI 970A-G43 AM3+ ATX AMD Motherboard
• Graphics: MSI Radeon 7950
• CPU: Phenom II X4 965
• HD: Western Digital 2tb 3.5”
• PSU: Thermal take 600w
• Ram: PNY 8gb
Please help me on this, I would really like to get into PC gaming. Thanks! 😀
 


Well, i've already paid for the RAM and the CPU... so I was shooting for a solid build that added up to around $600
Luckily, this adds up to $551, excluding the CPU and RAM
 
Yeah, I would assume this will be a good spend for the money you've got and I'm pretty sure that it all works.

EDIT : However, I would say you should add on a Aftermarket heatsink, perhaps the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - They cost about $27 and you'll also need to buy some thermal paste with that (about $10 top), but this'll allow you to Overclock your CPU more.
