Any one have any suggestions, and did i miss anything i needed. I have a couple of questions too.

1. Is the CPU Cooler good enough.
2. Is this good enough to play games on medium settings?
3. Will this all work with a 400W PSU, and also does it matter if the Grapphics card has GDDR3 memory?
4. Lastly, is the case good, will all the stuff fit in it, and will it be cool enough?

Thanks:D
 
If you can i would get this mobo

For the same price, this is a better cooler

Yeah it will all fit in that case and should stay nice and cool, im sure others will chirp in and give some other opinions that may be better than mine :)
 
First of all why is the mobo, and the power source better?
And also i'm not gonna sli as i don't have the money (i'm 13, mom givin me 500 bucks, and i have to pay for everything else), so do i have to switch?
 
You can use the stock CPU Cooler that comes with the processor, I hardly think AMD would include something that doesn't work well enough. The power supply should be fine, it has 29A on the 12V rails. It would be worth it to spend the extra $10 to get the Gigabyte because Biostar is not a very good brand name.
 
I Agree with getting Gigabyte Mate.

Its one of the best brands out there in my opinon.

that Graphics card will run MOST games High/Ultra settings.

The Issue of DDR3 Just means what ram the GPU Itself is using, As long as it fits into the motherboard, it will be awsome

Nice Build btw buddy :D
