Thank you for your help. I will combine this build with another and make the best PC out of it

FrozenSpark · Jul 4, 2015

Is this graphics card compatible with the processor i chose?

N3rdR4ge :

consider this one, the other components might not be of great quality but you can get a gtx 750ti which is great. you wont have usb 3.0 headers. or as good of a case, and a PSU that isn't great.
