I bought a motherboard and CPU combo from ebay, your thoughts?

I only originally was after a motherboard, i am not interested in overclocking and will be purposing the new build for emulation, e-sports titles and some AAA gaming.

 

The motherboard i eventually bought is a mATX board and it comes with a Core i3 3220T CPU (Ivy Bridge)

 

Advert: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LGA-1155-Socket-Motherboard-GIGABYTE-GA-H61N-USB3-plus-2-8-i3-cpu-cpu-fan/323176977973?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

 

I will be using a rather power hungry graphics card (R9 Fury) Will the i3 power this card? i do have options to buy a 3570 or even the 3770.

 

I also need to buy a cheap yet good power supply, any pointers? and thank you for your help :)

EVGA SuperNOVA G2/G3 are solid PSUs

G2 yes, G3 no. The new G3 model has protection issues. It's not as reliable as last generation models.
