Build help

[Mark4_4]

I'm currently looking to build a new PC to play games on but I want to pay as little as possible.

This is what I came up with so far, is all that compatible? Is there anything I can change to make it better/cheaper?

You need a slightly higher wattage psu for that card. Get the cx500 instead.

Couldn't hurt for future upgrades but if he's sticking with a 260X it's not really necessary.

OP, if you can afford it I'd really urge a stronger video card. Having a 270 would be noticeably better.

Both of these websites are saying 450 watts and thats why I said to use the 500.

And the 500 watt will work for a wide range of cards.
