I am putting together a budget gaming pc. After About a week of constant research and asking questions on various forums this is the list of parts I have come up with. I will be ordering the parts tomorrow, and I just want to triple check that I will have no compatibility issues or anything (this is my first build). Also does anyone know roughly how well this should perform in skyrim FPS wise? Also I dont plan on overclocking right away, but when I can afford an aftermarket cooler I may mess with it.

Ditched the overkill motherboard and changed some things around and got you a considerably more powerful GPU.

I would like to, however I would definitely have to go with the different motherboard to afford it. I do have a couple concerns though: I wouldn't really be able to overclock the CPU with the asrock mother board, would I? Also the reviews on newegg for that particular motherboard aren't too amazing - alot of people seem to be getting DOA's or having other problems with it. Is it not as bad as they are making it out to be?

I appreciate your feedback, I definitely have something to think about now.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this build?
