Long story short, my ancient mobo died after recently purchasing a new PSU and GPU (in an ironic attempt to stave off having to buy a new mobo), so I'm looking to do a full upgrade, while still retaining some important parts of my previous arsenal.
Here's what I've already got:
1 900w Antec ATX PSU
1 Geforce 650 TI 2gb gpu
1 PCI-Express x1 wireless adapter
2 internal SATA HDD
1 Case of an unknown size (I think it's an ATX form factor, and it fits a 12x8.3 motherboard) with a broken case fan (i'd get a new case if I could find an ultra simple minimalist alternative for really really cheap)
And what I'm looking to get:
1 MSI Z77A-G41 (it doesn't have as many usb as I'd like but it's cheap.)
1 Intel Core i3-3220
2x4gb DDR3 1333mhz RAM (note all links are to Frys.com because I want to be able to just pick it up from their store tomorrow, instead of having to wait around for stuff to come in the mail)
Does this seem like a good build?
Also I was wondering if I took an old 9800 GTX+ card and put it in the PCI express 2 slot, and the 650 TI in the PCI Express 3 slot, if they'd run well together?
