Hey guys, I'm looking to build a entry level gaming PC, being that I'm not a hardcore gamer but I wanted something that wasn't wasting my time when it did come to playing games.

Just wanted to make sure I made OK choices and that all the parts will work well together

Motherboard: MSI B85-G43

RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600

CPU: i5 4430

VIDEO: GTX760

HDD: 1Tb WD BLUE

PSU: Themaltake Smartpower Bronze 650w

Thanks!

Well, running the parts outside a case is technically possible, but not a good idea for long term. You'll want to make sure the case has sufficient airflow and isn't too cramped for your parts (most gtx 760 cards are unlikely to be a problem, but there is this monster: http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/50733-gv-n760oc-4gd that some cases would have trouble fitting, and there might be a case out there that has components that would even interfere with cards shorter than the motherboard)

Based on the specifications and images, that Thermaltake Smartpower looks like a good choice.

The PSU comes from one of my local suppliers MSY (Australia) , seems to be more Aust based..

As for the case, I'm not 100% sure at the moment, do you think is something I should greatly consider beforehand?

Lol yeah, ok fair enough, I will just be getting a case today when I pick up the parts, so I will make sure then.

Thanks a lot for your help!
