Looking to build my first (gaming) PC, and I've got the parts and just want to make sure it'll all run smoothly etc.
I'm not a hardcore gamer and with the exception of WoW and Skyrim, it'll be pretty light gaming. I'm looking to play games such as Fallout 3 on high, Half Life 2/Garrys Mod on medium, Minecraft with shaders, WoW and Skyrim on medium/high, all with moderate FPS (40-60). Screen size and resolution is not an issue for me, I'd much prefer a smaller monitor (18" minimum) if it means games will run smoother.
I've been given some advice already and I'm going with this list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2wHJE
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 750K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£56.04 @ CCL Computers)
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A88M EXTREME4+ Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard (£49.14 @ Dabs)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (£29.99 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£42.00 @ Aria PC)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB Video Card (£74.81 @ Ebuyer)
Case: Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Mid Tower Case (£31.16 @ Amazon UK)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£36.66 @ Amazon UK)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer (£13.18 @ Scan.co.uk)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) (£72.59 @ Ebuyer)
Total: £405.57
Things not required: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, Headset, etc.
Does that look all OK and compatible, and will it be able to play the games I want with reasonable FPS? Thank you!
