is this a good setup?

I am building a computer for a friend. I have never used sata or pci express. Im a noob with this stuff so could all of you check to see if I have the correct setup and if everything works together. Thanks already. Also if you can find something better for less money id appreciate it. thanks again.

DVD drive
Case fans

Seems like a pretty nice setup for the budget man. If you plan on playing a lot of games though, i'd look into a different video card.

does everything work together? and he is just going to use it for video and pictures and checking email. Maybe games later. But he can buy a video card that is better later. BTW...it will cost him $821 after taxes and shipping.

Yup, everything should work together fine.

Hope everything goes well 🙂

BTW. Is everything else here? or do i need the red power cable with the sata thing.link

This is just one motherboard i found. check my mobo please and see if it includes everything i need. THanks

anyone else?

That's a pretty lousy case and PSU. Go for a Fortron 400W PSU and an Antec SLK3000B case.

Also, you can lose the fans if you get the SLK3000B, as it comes with a 120mm fan.
