I'm building my first computer that me and my uncle are going to work on together. He builds computers normally and I would usually ask him but I can't at the moment so right now I need your guys' help! (:
I'm on a budget. don't tell me to upgrade anything unless it will definetely lower or remain the same price. If I'm missing anything though please tell me! Thanks! :D
What I'm mainly looking for is if these parts will work together.
 
So $430 not counting shipping is the absolute maximum?

Those fans are too small to mount in the case, but otherwise it's all compatible. However, a few of those parts are pretty low quality...namely the mobo and power supply. At the very least, change the PSU to a higher quality one.

I think we might be able to re-work it a bit to give you higher quality parts, and maybe a little more performance.

Where are you located? Knowing how much tax is charged and which companies charge it would help a lot.

^ The CX430 isn't a particularly good choice either, brah. An Antec Neo ECO 400C or Rosewill Green Series 430W would be the better choice for that price range. Preferably the Antec, but both are solid units.

Click to expand...

I completely forgot about Antec Neo ECO 400C:P
 
I'm located in Inland Empire area of California and I can't really stretch the price much higher than $430. Thanks for all the help I think I'll look at those cases that come with the 3 case fans. You guys are so helpful!
 
Well I was going to try and find a good site that doesn't charge sales tax in your state, but it's proving to be difficult for Cali. Imma keep looking though.
