Will all of the parts in this budget build be compatible? And can we use a used video card?

Hello! My friend is going to be building a PC on a tight budget, and I'll be lending him a couple of my old parts to help him get a base build that he can build on later. It would be great if anyone here could look at this parts list and see if everything will work together:

Instead of the GTX 950 seen on that build, I'll be lending my old Radeon 7770, as well as a Intel core i3-2100 and a monitor. I know those are weak parts now, but they'll let him play a lot of games anyway, especially from the last generation of consoles.

Should we expect any issues integrating those used parts? And are all of these parts compatible?

Thanks for any help or advice!

Sorry but the Asus H97 motherboard and i3 2100 cpu are not compatible. You need a LGA1155 motherboard to run i3 2100. I made a budget friendly PC build for your friend for 400$ which he can upgrade later to core i7. He can already play current generation games at med-high settings 1080p using i3-2100+Gtx750ti.

Thank you for the help! I fear the mini case will make it hard to work, am I wrong? I have a mid size tower myself.

Its a micro atx case and it will fit the motherboard and graphics card, but it will be indeed a tight fit. You can skip the case and buy a larger case in this build.
