Hi, I'm just building a computer for the VERY first time. It's not for me, but it's a fairly budgeted PC. I have the parts i want, and am 80% sure they are compatible. Because it's not my money i'm spending, I'm very worried. Any chance anyone could review the parts and see if they are infact compatible? Also: This computer will be used for gaming.

Good to hear they are compatible! About the RAM, it's not alot, no, but I've said to him, it's upgradeable in the future. And the problem with the GPU is, he's only a budget of around £500, so it's not that great, but do you think it'll be substantial enough to play games, for example Skyrim on high settings?

Thanks!

Ah right! Well i'll just ask him if he'll throw in another £30, if it is that much better. Also, another question (if you don't mind :) )
Considering this is a budget build, and just to make sure he will have to throw in another £30, do you think i could downgrade the PSU from 600w? I'm not sure, but I think that might be a little overpowered for what I've got here.
