First PC (cheap)

[Guest]

Hi, my PC is on its last legs and I'm trying to make a new one. This is my first attempt at making a PC and have decided to make something cheap only for browsing, movies, and playing last gen games.

While I could just buy an old prebuilt PC, this is practice as I want to make my dream PC one day.

Would all of this parts be compatible?
Is there anything I should know or I am missing?

Thank you in advance ^_^

IMO wait for llano, easier on the power bill, more potent GPU and cheaper*
Right now for your build I would recommend a smaller uATX case, and a better PSU. The PSU is just dismal, try getting a basic OCZ/Antec/FSP.

Everything seems to be in order, I would personally buy a smaller hard drive though, if your only going to be playing last gen games and surfing and stuff do you really need all that space? Those 1tb and up drives tend to be a little less reliable. Not a major issue so go for it if you think you need it.

Thank you for the responses. I will look into a better power supply. I was also leaning towards a smaller hard drive, so thanks for the push
