Oh, I didn't even realize that the case you initially selected is too small for the motherboard.

I left room for a case as I don't pick cases. Just make sure the case supports ATX or mATX boards.

There are some compatibility issues. The CPU you chose won't work with the motherboard you chose. An AMD 10-5800k requires a FM2 socket. The motherboard you have uses an AM3+ socket. (Circle in a square hole)

Everything else is ok. It's a pretty low end PC. Don't expect too much. A 730GT is pretty much entry level.

What are you looking to spend?
 


Im looking to spend around 575 cad (maybe upto 600 cad) I'm really new to this so I'm not sure what parts to pick do you have any suggestions?

So here's a build with room to grow. You can swap out the i3 for an i5 later down the road (or now if you have the budget). It's a better GPU than the 730 by miles but will support medium graphics @1080.

I cant seem to find the exact same video card will the ASUS Radeon R7 250 1000MHZ 1GB 4.6GHZ GDDR5 DVI HDMI VGA PCI-E Video Card work too?
