Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I have a list of PC parts I have picked out, and I want to make sure everything is compatible with everything else, everything will fit, and whether or not it will be able to run high-spec games like GTA5 or Just Cause 3, or COD BO3, games like that. This is my first build, so I just wanted to check with people who are smarter than me before I just foolishly put together a non-working PC.

heres a better one, I would use a different case but I am assuming you put it in the part list because you like it.

and also, just in case you didn't know, you'll need to buy Windows if this is your first computer.

Well, I already have the graphics card and the ram, do getting a newer one isn't really an option for me. The reason I bought it is because it was on a list of top 5 graphics cards, and it was cheap, so i went ahead and picked it up since there was only one in stock. I mainly want to make sure everything will fit and be compatible rather than decide which PC part is better than the other.

I am aware I also have to buy windows, but I really wanted to make sure everything was compatible with everything else, and that it will all fit together. I do have faith in my GPU, and it took a lot to consider buying an AMD cpu, but this one is really good for the price, especially since it is a quad core. Intel is better, but also really expensive, and 90 dollars for 3.7 gigahertz is really in my price range. Thanks anyway!
