Trying to build my first PC

[edaschner]

Never built my own PC and am trying to save some money by doing it myself. I think I've picked some pretty decent stuff but want to know if it will all actually fit together and also any tips for trying to put everything together for the first time or if something else might work better or cheaper compared to these. Thanks in advance.

Well the gpu is not very good at all for gaming and the link for the gpu does not work.

The build looks fine ,
I would suggest depending on your budget to opt for a higher GPU
save some money by getting a standard 2tb HDD and put the savings toward an ssd for your operating system
xfx is a good choice for a psu

Thanks, I'll look into the harddive. Could you suggest any decent GPU that would stay under $175?

I'm planning to do a build when I get to Wichita, KS in August. I wanted to get a head start into finding what parts I wanted that go together and taking time to research them.

For an extra $10 more or so than your budget you could get this

this is how it compares to the 750 ti
