Will this Cheap Gaming build work?

[Jerochy]

Hey guys,

I'm building a cheap computer for my friend. He originally was ok with spending 800 dollars on building a decent gaming computer using newegg or amazon, but quickly chose the cheap route as he saw  I was able to build a decent gaming computer out of a system I found in the trash (cost me around 64 dollars).

I was able to pick up a DDR2 motherboard with a core 2 extreme cpu in it with a waterblock on top for 25 bucks, a 250gb seagate sata hard drive for 5 bucks, and a 16:9 20" hp monitor for 7. I still needed to buy a heatsink as I don't want to liquid cool, and a decent power supply. We are going to end up putting a gtx 750 ti in the system with 8gb of ddr2 ram. I think it will be a nice little machine for only around $250 dollars.

I just wanted to make sure that all this will run/fit together as this is only the 3rd computer that I'm building and I don't have the most experience. Also, let me know how you think the gaming performance would be. He is interested in playing arma II and h1z1. I saw the recommended specs for both and think arma II will be great and h1z1 will be OK at best as it seems pretty CPU intensive.

He is the current parts I already have:

CPU: http://ark.intel.com/products/27258/Intel-Core2-Extreme-Processor-X6800-4M-Cache-2_93-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB

Here are the parts I'm going to be buying in a couple minutes if you guys think it's good:

PSU: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IZN3K2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Heatsink: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028Y4S9K?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

And we will be throwing in a gtx 750 ti as I mentioned before along with 8gb of ddr2 ram running at 800mhz

 

Thank you guys you're the best!

You could get better performance out of a potato and a turnip.

It's going to run like crap. I put a 750 Ti [Overclocked to 1.2v 1424mhz core] in a core 2 quad q9400 and it bottlenecked. Core 2 duo would be unplayable for all intents and purposes. LGA 775 is basically dead at this point IMO; only worth even considering if you still have a P45 mobo that can run a X5450 OC'd to 4Ghz.

It'll run like shit.

Get at least 4th gen pentium.

That CPU will not do too well these days.... Like, really not well lol. Being a dual core most new games won't even run, they "require" 4 cores.
