Hello,

I'm building my first gaming pc. But not looking to break the bank aka <=$500.00.

The parts I've picked out are below and the total is $471.41 from newegg.com I also plan to install windows 7 64 bit on this system.

I simply would like some advice in this area and would like to know if these components will fit together and make a good gaming pc.

The games I play are things like "age of empires. The sims. Starwars kotor (2003) kotor 2 (2004)

But I also want this pc to be able to last me at least 5 years before having to upgrade it and be able to play new games like the most recent starwars battlefront.
