Hello whoever reads this.

I know little of computer hardware, but I learn a little bit everyday, such as socket types, the specific memory required on a mobo etc.

Budget is $600.

To the point though, I believe I finally have all the parts for building my first computer, I'll have the pieces listed below. I just want to know if the hardware I chose are at minimal requirement standards for the new games coming out.

Also, if you have any experience with a specific piece I'd like to know, I've been looking online and so far I've seen nothing incompatible or bad with the hardware.

I've rounded the price on the parts too, mainly because I didn't want to type .98, .95 etc. Too excessive.


Cpu - AMD FX-4130 3.8 GHz Quad-core $102
MoBo - ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2 ATX AM3+ Motherboard $80.00
A-Data XPG V1.0 8 GB (2 X 4 GB) $68
Hitachi Ultrastar 1TB 3.5 $48
XFX Radeon HD 7790 1GB Video Card $125
Sentey CS1-1420 PLUS ATX Mid Tower Case $35
CoolMax 500W ATX Power Supply $23
Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer $20
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) $100
