Hello,

Now, I've been doing a bit of studying and I was looking to create my own custom gaming computer, with an average sort of budget I was looking for your help.

So after doing a bit of research, I wanted to know your verdict on the parts I have chosen, and if they would even work together. The only thing I don't have yet is a SSD and a graphics card.

CPU: http://goo.gl/A9ulx
RAM: http://goo.gl/YAAeH (Lower profile RAM)
Motherboard: http://goo.gl/BF7fw (So I need to get a cheaper board)
Hard-Drive: http://goo.gl/MVzbe
DVD: http://goo.gl/6S3Wq
Case: http://goo.gl/pPXta (Get a newer case, this one is outdated)
(Around a 600 watt PSU)
Thanks. :)
 
Solution
Get a WAY cheaper z77 motherboard.
Get low profile RAM. Get 8gb.
Get a hd7870/gtx660
Get a 500-600 watt PSU from Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic.
