Compatibility of Custom Desktop Components

[ChpMnkSnpr]

Hi users,

I've recently decided that I can't survive on intel Pentium @ 1.3 Ghz with no video card whatsoever. I'm still new to all these tech things, but I've got lots of work with computers, and I've learnt a lot recently. I've got a friend to check it, but I need a third-party to check too. Here's my build, including a lin to the site I'm going to get them from:

Also another question: in terms of graphics cards, nVidia 660 or Radeon HD7850? My buddy said that Radeon 7850 is stronger, but draws more power. Thanks for the help guys, and if there are any tips you could suggest as it would be my first go building a desktop, please do!

It's pretty nice except for the PSU. Cheap PSUs could fry and take the system with it. Get a Corsair CX600M. A 7850 is better and draws just a little more power but would still work fine with a i5 on a 500W PSU. Though, I would get a FX 8320, UD3 990FXA, and 7870 or 7950 which will be better then a 4670K and 7850. If you do want intel, make sure to get a Z87X UD3H, not a Z87M D3H.

Much appreciated, thank you for getting back to me so quickly!
I'll make those changes.
