I need help with building my first pc, I was wounding if someone would say if; a) the parts would actually work together, and b) would make an okay gaming pc. I've been looking at an evga GeForce gt 610 graphics card, a Corsair Builder Series CX 430 Watt ATX/EPS 80 power supply, two HyperX FURY Series 8GB ram, a AMD FX4300 Black Edition 4 Core processor, a Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard, a AVP Storm P27 Midi Mesh case, WD 1TB 3.5 inch Internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue hard drive. Good or no? I'm on a budget so I have to go cheep.

The parts should work just fine but the system seems unbalanced.

We could help suggest some alternatives if tell us what the system is being used for, where you're shopping/located, and budget.

Gaming primarily, and about £600 to £700, and shopping online or close to me.

That seems like quite a healthy budget and doesn't seem to match your intital parts list. Is that just for the tower?

 

Also, I've been given the gt 610, so I don't really want to buy a new one if I can manage.

The GT 610 is pretty bad for any gaming that isn't very light like The Sims.

Location as in US, Canada, Europe?

I don't think the OP is using british pounds in the US or Canada.

What's 'everything like that'? It would be important to mention if it's being included in the budget.

Why a TV instead of a traditional monitor?

I mean the keyboard, mouse, screen (called tv out of habit)

Is a copy of Windows needed?

No, I have access to Windows 7

I'd suggest something like this instead: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/wv2d23
