It would help if you have a budget and the price of the individual parts included in the post.

The 7750 is a low power edition of the 7770 intended for upgrading pre-builts; the 7750 is not cost effective. Go for a 7770 instead. As a result, you may have to upgrade the PSU.

The H77 boards do not support overclocking, so if you don't plan on doing any of that, then stick with your selection. If you want to overclock, then dish out the cash for a Z77 board.

Research your case and PSU as they might come with the specific molex adapter you need. My XFX PSU came with a 4 pin to molex compatible with 3 pin connections.

You can try and get a student discount on Windows 8 through your school to save some cash and/or use it towards other parts of your build.

I recommend these:

Heatsink(Only a must have if you desire to overclock, which I recommend you do with this AMD chip): [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Cpu: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The AMD chips are much cheaper now and overclock better then most Intel chips right now. They are a must have for any budget gaming pc.

I would suggest getting windows 7 for gaming because the only thing that was good about win 8 was that it had apps but decided not to make apps for windows 8 because there isn't a big enough user base. I have windows 8 pro on one of my PCs and I absolutely hate it. And I have that processor and it's really good for the money with my gtx 660 i can run bf3 on ultra.

I don't get why everyone is throwing different parts at him. He simply asked if what he chose for a build is everything he needs. And looking at everything, it is.

BTW OP I have seen that build on youtube, and it is a very nice build. But like others have said, maybe getting a cx500 or cx600 PSU will be better for that graphics card.

OP, don't get an AMD CPU if you want a mini itx build. No one makes mini itx motherboards for good amd CPU's.

Who said anything about mini itx? OP it's your decision, but right now AMD cpu's are a must have for budget gaming computers. The video you got the build from is almost a year old, component prices rise and fall so really it's not accurate anymore. Go with what you want, but I still suggest you switch to an AMD chip for now.

The case and motherboard he's chosen are mini itx parts.
