I am trying to put together a really great gaming pc that can handle most games for the cheapest price for a friend. I have put together a parts list:

He is wanting a nice gaming pc that he can show off to everybody.
Would all these parts work together and fit in the case?

Thanks

Are you wanting an Intel or AMD-based build? If it doesn't matter, might as well go with Joe's build. If you don't have an SSD my preference is for the WD Caviar Black, which is faster.

I'd go for the 300r and then a better power supply, but that's just me. It's a nice build though.
