hello everyone i am going to build gaming pc.....so..i need suggestion for choosing components....my budget is tight...

intel core i7 3770 (currently i have)

MSI H61M-P20 (G3) Motherboard

4gb DDR3 RAM 1600MHz

1 tb hdd

dvd writer

gtx 660ti

does above components are good......??

i know core i7 does not boost any gaming performance over Core i5.....but i already have it...so i am going to use that processor.....

does H61 motherboard is good.....??is there any performance loss or something...which is bottleneck....? because i dont want to spend extra money on H77 motherboards....

also tell me me what is the FSB on above msi motherboard it has 100 MHZ FSB...does FSB matters...?

also suggest me the psu.....i want to run all components on stock..i.e no overclocking at all...

thanks in advance

If you want to use i7-3770 you have to buy some B75 or H77 motherboard because H61 doesn't support 3rd gen. CPU natively and you'll need BIOS update to run that CPU! FSB 100MHz (BCLK) doesn't matter unless you're going to OC non "K" CPU's, it's like your CPU is 3.4GHz (34x100=3400Hz)
and if you set BCLK to 105Mhz, you'll have 3.57GHz (105x34=3570), Get some B75 motherboard and you'll be fine!
For PSU I would recommend you this PSU

And if the price of GTX-660ti is higher than GTX-760's price I would recommend you GTX-760 which is better and faster than 660ti :) And try to get 8GB of RAM!
Hope it will help :)

Probably you bought late version of the board with new BIOS out of the box :)
