Hello, i'm building my own computer and i was wondering if someone could take a look at these components i'm looking at to see if they are compatible with one another as i have no idea how to tell whether they are or not...

Also, if you know the area, could you tell me if this PC would run modern games on a highish setting (Anything higher than medium) on games like Crysis 2, and Battlefield Bad Co.2?

Thanks Alot In Advance!

Many Thanks!
 
your link that says motherboard is another link to the processor.

coolermaster isn't the best brand when it comes to power supplies.

You don't really need a dedicated sound card unless you have a really good set of speakers/headphones.

everything else looks fine to me.
 
All looks good only things id say is we need to see your motherboard as you linked it wrong and thats kind of the main decider to wether its compatible or not!

I would say youd need a better graphics card but i did my research and that looks fine!

Lastly ive never seen a slim optical drive before so wether that will fit in a 5.25" bay or not im not sure but it looks a bit iffy to me! (as others have said the power supply could be better)

Hope i helped im not the best for advice on this site but thats what id say :)

I had awesome luck with Cooler Master PSU's. You might want to consider something with a little more juice so you wont have to buy a new one when you upgrade to something needing a little more power.

560 Ti is good choice but here is the one I suggest
because it has 2 Gigs of memory.
 
I would just stick to Intel. AMD is not worth it at his price range. Besides, even the i3-2100 beats the AMD Phenom in most places IIRC.
