So I'm plannning to buy all the components to the computer that I built, and I had two questions about it.

Are all my parts compatible, and is getting the EVGA Graphics Card going to "conflict" with the Graphics 4000 in the Intel CPU?


Rosewill BLACKHAWK Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Dell UltraSharp U2412M Black 24” 8ms LED Backlight Widescreen LCD IPS Panel Monitor

1. The parts are compatible, except for the RAM, the motherboard requires DDR3 ram.
2. the graphics card will not "conflict" with the Intel integrated graphics. the motherboard BIOS will de-activate the Intel Graphics when it senses that a discrete graphics card is installed.
3. Only 2 GB of RAM? That will barely be enough to load the Windows operating system, much less any applications(games, etc)! Most around here recommend 8GB.
4. I would recommend a PSU from Corsair, SeaSonic, Enermax, XFX, PCP&C, or Antec in the 650 watt(or up )range over the Rosewill. The PSU is the life blood of your computer. It is the only component that can destroy any(or all) of your other components if it is (or goes) bad.

I want to add that for gaming it is recommended to use monitors around a 5ms response time. 5 is the norm but there are also 2ms which can be a little harder to find at good prices. 8ms is not bad but you can get a better one; but who knows, maybe the difference is not all that significant.

That helped a lot! Do you have any recommendations for the RAM?

I personally think Dell has the best monitors, but I'm not too sure about gaming -- after all, this is supposed to a gaming computer.

Any monitor suggestions?

Furthermore, can the MSI motherboard fit 4 x 4GB RAM? Or will I have to go with 2 x 8GB?

Look at this memory kit:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

this will give you 8 GB of ram which is all you really need.
It also allows you to buy a 2nd kit to get to 16 GB if you really need it. Just be sure that you have a 64-bit operating system for that much ram. 32-bit operating systems can only access 4 GB max.

I like it, but my budget is about $1,200 . . . I don't think I can afford it.
I know I keep on asking for advice, but any further suggestions?
I'm sorry about this ;-;
