Ok, what im looking for is compatibility.

also, will anything bottleneck or limit any of the other parts?

Any Suggestions to part changes? im on about a 700 dollar budget, and this will add up to about that, considering im getting the ram for free.

any thoughts at all please share them.

and for you aoc'ers, What settings could this thing run the game at? and fps?


appreciate all the help everyone, keep in mind this is a first time build! :)

thanks :bounce:

and another quick note! i just checked how much the case would be with shipping and its 90 bucks, if anyone can suggest to me somthing cheaper, thats durable, you know, something of good quality that has good space. prefer a side window too. i seem to have a hard time finding stuff like this for a good deal lol
