Hi,
I am building an AMD gaming PC very shortly and I have been selecting parts for around 3 months now. I will be getting all of the parts for Christmas. The only thing that I am a bit worried about, is whether they will all be compatible with each other.

I will list all the parts and if someone could tell me if they will all be compatible then that would be brilliant.

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. How will the 600w psu make a difference?

wattage isn't the only concern. Do you have in mind a specific model?

The psu that you have posted is good enough for your build. I use an i7 + gtx 770 and my system never draws more than 350watts. When you buy a psu you look
1) wattage
2) power efficiency
3) connectivity
4) Amperes per line

You will probably have to low the antializing in order to play smooth @1080p. BF4 will use the new AMD's API called "Mantle", so it is likely to run @max settings with this card
