Hi guys,

Im building new PC mainly for htpc use. It would be nice if it could handle some specific games too: CS:GO, l4d2 and few others like those. The only "problem" is that i have 360w psu ( Seasonic g-360) and i would really like to stick with that.

Components i already have:

SeaSonic SSR-360GP

Corsair Neutron Series GTX 2.5" 120GB SATA III
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

WD Green 4TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

CORSAIR Vengeance LP 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

So what i would like to know is if i get the following components would my psu handle these and do i have enough kick to play those games smoothly with good quality ( 1280x1024 resolution mostly ) and is this assembly stable all in all ?

What i thought of getting:

1. AMD Athlon X4 740 Trinity 3.2GHz Socket FM2 65W / This seems to be pretty good gpu for that price and 65w tdp only.

2. ZOTAC GeForce GTX 650 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 / What about this one ? +reasonable price, gddr5 and power usage. I prefer nvidia > ati. I need that hdmi too.

3. MSI FM2-A75MA-P33 / Cheap board with all the features i need/want: Micro-ATX, SATA 6Gb/s, 2 memory slots ( using only one so no need for four slots ), PCI Express 2.0 x16 and usb 3.0.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

And case will be Silverstone GD04B or Antec fusion remote, thats why micro-ATX.

Thank you very much in advance if you can help me/give some advices ! :)

Didn't even think about that, thanks. Should i buy 2x4gb or can i stick with this corsair and maybe pair it with another one ? 16gb is more than enough but i already have this one kit so.. :p 

Any help with this 360w/gpu thing :??:  I dont play any modern games so i just need a card that can handle games like cs:go, l4d2 and some similar ones as i mentioned before.

And when it comes to the noise level; I can live with some but its mainly htpc so less is +++
