First PC build

[brundinator]

This is my first PC build, have a basic rig figured out but I have a few questions.

-Graphics card decent enough to run civ 5, csgo, tf2?

-Will I need a BIOS update on my mobo?

-Do all the parts fit?

It's fine, i don't see how can you get a better gpu with that, so that will have to do it. Unless you're willing to go a little over the limit of 800 to get like a 270x

pcpartpicker literally has a $800 pentium g3258 build video on the front page. I would take a look at that.
