CPU - AMD Phenom II X3 700e
CPU Heatsink - Cooler Master DK9 Socket AM2/AM3 CPU Cooler
GPU - Zotac GeForce GTS 450 AMP Edition
RAM - Crucial 4GB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz Desktop Memory (2 sticks)
Motherboard - Asus M4A79XTD EVO AMD 790X Socket AM3 Motherboard
PSU - Ultra X4 600 Watt Modular Power Supply
HDD - Western Digital 500GB 7200rpm
Wan - Zonet 802.11N Wireless PCI Adapter
Disc Drive - Sony Optiarc DVDRW Drive
Case - Cooler Master RC-430 mid Tower ATX Case
Monitor - 19" Widescreen LED HD Monitor
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
I'm pretty sure all of these parts are compatible, but since this is my first build I'd like to get some advice from some more experienced builders. I've never build a computer from square 1 so my main concern is everything fitting in the case and everything being compatible.
The total for all of these items came out to be around $780 before rebates and shipping (shipping is $20).
Would this be good for middle of the road gaming?
Thanks!
