HI my name is jonas, i am a beginner at computerbuilding, but i think i found the parts for my first build it yourself computer, keep in mind that i am danish so my spelling will be bad, sry.
i have some questions to my hardware and i was hoping that someone here had the answers,
1: are my hardware compatible.. ( by that i mean that i know that even if my cpu and my motherboard has the same socked, it doesent always mean that it can work togeter, and do i have anny parts, that just wonk work with the others)
2: do i have the right powersuply... ( i have looked a lot of playces, and i always find a diferent answer for this toppic)
3: do i have anny bottleneks... ( by that i mean do i have somthin that is just way better wuality then everythin els so that it wont preform as good as it normaly would)
4: do i have anny ower kill/ underkill components ( i am going for a mid range gamin computer, it doesent have to run games at max qualaty, but it has to be able to run the new games without lagg, my moast demanding game will be battlefield4)
5: if it were you would you do annythin different ( keep inmind that i have pritty much stretched my budget to the limmet, so i cant go mutch bigger)

I'd recommend a few changes:

That case no cable management features, so I'd get a Zalman Z9 or Z11 if you can get one, both of those have cable management.

I'd recommend you get the Corsair CX 500 power supply over a Cooler Master one, better brand.

Try to get a 7770 if your budget allows. Also try and get an i3 if your budget allows (or look into an AMD FX-4300, note the AMD processor will require a different motherboard), but make the graphics card priority.

Otherwise it looks decent. :)
 
No, the 7770 is a graphics card - Radeon HD 7770 to be precise. It's the next model up from what you wanted (which was/is a 7750).
 
re

how do you feel about an XFX Radeon HD 7850 Core Edition its a bit more pricy but i think i can do it
 
It's a good card. MSI tend to make slightly cheaper cards than XFX though I think, so see if MSI do a 7850 Core Edition.
 
re

well thay do make a card in the same price range its MSI N660 TF 2GD5/OC but i have no idea if its better or worse:(
 
re

thx a lot for the help, i can tell you now that i orderd the GPU that you recomentet, and the rest will soon follow again thx mate
 
If you wanted to save some cash you could ditch the SSD as it isn't required. Having one would definitely make for an overall more snappy system but it's not bad without one. You'd probably get more performance if you ditched that and got a FX 4300 or FX 6300 (with a different motherboard of course).
