first time build help.

Hey there people. I was looking into building a gaming computer and i'm not sure if all these parts are compatible with each other, so i'm wondering if you guys can help me out here and tell me if this build will work.

Can you update your post with the answers to these questions? Budget, resolution, and whether you are reusing parts are the most important ones.

Welcome to the forums, dragonDeal!

Some of your links aren't working, but generally it looks like these parts will work together. As mfenn suggested though, more details would help us provide recommendations.

While your part selection works, you don't have everything you need in that list to complete a build.

Thanks for the replies.

Im will be using this pc for gaming, mostly RTS and RPGs. I would like to be able to play these two up coming gaming on the max settings or at least close to that upon there release. http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=3345&game=Company%20of%20Heroes%202 and http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=4691&game=Total%20War:%20Rome%20II.

My budget is around $750 and ill will be buying all my parts from the USA. I don't have a brand preference so if you would like to make some suggestions from other brands please full free to do so. I will be building the entire thing from scratch and my resolution will be 1360 by 768. I plan on ordering it within the next 3 weeks. I updated my parts below to fit into my budget. I'm a little nervous when looking for parts because i'm afraid not everything would be compatible. Your in put is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Are you able to order from Newegg? Some of the items above would be cheaper there, especially the power supply, graphics card, and DVD burner.

By the way, right now Newegg has a great deal on the Sapphire HD7870. It's about 20% faster than the 650Ti Boost, and costs just $5 more than the card you picked, yet comes with four free games.

Code: EMCXPXP25, exp. June 12th

Otherwise, the build looks great. If you can spare another $15, I'd suggest getting the 1TB version of the hard drive you picked, as you'll probably need the space down the line.

Nice deal! Even without it, I think that $170 is way too much to be spending on a GTX 650 Ti Boost. GTX 660's and 7850's can be had for $180 any day of the week.
