Yes this is a good build, it will max out most games @ 1080p. Also is this a pre build, I can't tell? Change the PSU to the XFX 550w if you're from the uk.

This is my first build since I am new to all this stuff and I am from the United States.

Since you're from the US this would be a perfect PSU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

If you ever wanted to upgraded the GPU at any time to one which uses up more power (or CPU), you can go with the 650w for $10 more: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

However, the 550W PSU will be fine for your currrent build.

Having a look at the reviews at that case, I'd suggest you got with something else within your budget.

Good case - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Better motherboard at the same price - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


Replace that PSU like previously suggested and you sir will have a beastly machine

You won't wanna be running such high end hardware on that PSu, it will blow up.

Get the HIVE 650.

Make sure you change the PSU as me and Craiggy have suggested ( Rosewill Hive 650W) as the PSU will die and most lightly blow up. You do not want to skimp on the PSU.

I have updated it to the Rosewill Hive 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX. To be exact.
