Quick! Is my system compatible?

n00bslayer06 · Nov 27, 2013

Thanks in advance! The sales are ending soon for the items im looking at and I really just need to know if everything is compatible and if there's any bottle necking anywhere? I honestly don't know anything about building computer besides what I've googled. Here's the components I have so far.

Case: Xigmatek CCM-35ABX-U01 (Recon) Black Steel / Plastic Computer Case
GPU: MSI N770-2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI
Motherboard:ASUS A88XM-A FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMY8GX3M2A1866C9B (Blue)
Power supply:NZXT HALE82-N NP-1BN-0650A-US 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active@0.99(Typically) PFC Power Supply
Processor:Intel Core i3-4130 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 54W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4400 BX80646I34130

Will this bottleneck? Also is an i3, okay for gaming?

I know im missing the hard drive, missing anything else? thanks

EDIT: I changed the processor and the power supply! If I could have new comments please thanks!

There is a HUGE bottleneck in this system! The A10 WILL hold back the 770. You should get a fx-8320 + 970 mobo. The A10 cpu is NOT designed for systems with discrete GPUs.

It works, but the cpu is a bad choice. Do what envy said if you want an AMD cpu.

Thank you for your quick reply! I have changed the processor and power supply, Mind telling me if this will bottleneck/ is it all compatible?

Also is an i3 okay for ultra graphic gaming?

I have just changed the processor and power supply, is it okay now? I want to keep the graphics card.

envy14tpe · Nov 27, 2013

Can you get a low end i5? A 770 is a major GPU and you should pair it with a decent CPU.
Also, can you get a different brand PSU?
What country are you buying in?

How does this look? Also what other components would i need? besides OS and hard drive?

envy14tpe · Nov 27, 2013

It's good. It's not built for overclocking but that isn't a bad thing. Just get a 120/128GB SSD and you'll be set.
