Are these computer parts compatible?

That looks awesome, but unfortunately I'm from Canada and newegg.com doesn't ship to us.

Edit: Found the Canadian version: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboBu...t=Combo.617105

Then I found this one: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboBu...t=Combo.569871

It may be $100 more, but the PSU is 700W instead of 430W. The graphics card I've been planning to use should have at least 450W to my knowledge.

So is there any difference between the two? Or does it not matter and I can save $100.

Oh, and how much of a problem will the bottom mounted PSU case be?

Before I begin ordering the parts, I'd like a second look to see if I've missed something because I am an amateur.

I'm expecting this to play new and TBR games at decent+ quality.

Compatible? Yes.

However, I would advise against buying a GTX 460 SE. That's a horribly gimped version of the GTX 460. Here's an MSI GTX 460 for $150 after $25 (USD) rebate.

Also, a 500W PSU would work just fine. Hell, a quality 400W is enough.
 
It would probably be best to take small combos or even no combos over a DIY build.

AMD issues

1.Seagate HDD

2.Mobo is overkill

3.RAM is overvolted

Intel issues

1.Seagate HDD

2.Crappy PSU

3.Overvolted RAM
 
Well I would prefer an AMD, but the guy posted an Intel build. Because I am too inexperienced to know the problems with parts, I used his.
I take it I should make another topic for a build recommendation, but I don't want to create spam on this forum. If you could help me with a list of parts on this topic I'd appreciate it.
I have a total budget of $1000 (shipping and tax included), and I want it to play new games well, and of course be an AMD. I'm going to build it from scratch, except for my keyboard & mouse and my 1680 x 1050 moniter.

Didn't mean to imply that you shouldn't go Intel. I just figured that your original choice was budget driven. A i5 2500K is a much better choice than a X4 955 IMHO.
 
Lol see XD. I really don't know anything, and a recommendation from you would be great. Intel is fine, just I don't trust my judgment with picking out parts.
 
He's in Canada, remember, but usually I just buy whatever is the cheapest after shipping. They could very well be from the same manufacturing line in China as far as I've been able to tell lol.
