Hey everybody, Im new to the forums, If i placed this in the wrong area, I AM SO SORRY, please ask me to delete it, and i will, or feel free to, But first please tell me where to post this thanks a million.

Anyway, Im about to get a job, and looking into my first build, anyway does this all look compatible, Ive been building computers, (for others) for some time now, so I know my stuff, just im spending some cash and want to make sure i get this on the knob.

Basically does this look compatible, and do you see any bottlenecks? thanks.

Also dont tell me to change the PSU, or HARD DRIVE, i am comfortable with those brands and wattage/hdd size.

Thanks a bunch here is the build.

It's only been 20 mins...

For gaming, even the i3-2120 is better than AMD from the looks of the benchmarks. Cooler Master is not a good maker of PSUs. NEVER skimp on them as they are the most important component in your build. Try an Antec, PCP&C, Corsair, or XFX.

 

[chaotixblade]

I was jk, anyway, aside form the Intel bias, and the psu, which i will replace, Is it compatible though?

(I wasnt trying to be rude, all respect)

 

[chaotixblade]

Oh, and the 115$ chip, (cpu) Im on a budget, and i want the 4 cores, and im hoping for the chance of 6 cores.

 

[azeem40]

I was just saying so because there is a rule in this forums for bumping a post regardless of the jk. Was trying to keep you from getting "yelled" at.

Anyway, Hex-core Processors are useless for gaming as many modern games can't even use 2 or 3. Quad-cores are recommended cuz the other core can be used to do other mundane tasks.

 

[chaotixblade]

Ok thank you a bunch, But you still havent answered my question, Is it compatible or not? (thanks for all the info, and warning!) (yes i will replace the PSU) but as it is now is it compatible (aside from psu) thanks a bunch

 

[chaotixblade]

Hey also If anyone is reading through this, please refrain from dodging my question, still i havent got an answer to my origional question sigh.

(IS IT ALL COMPATIBLE)

DO not DO NOT, tell me "replace this , its not meeting my standards." it meets my standards, i just would like to know if it is compatible..

 

[somekidxd]

compatible

 

[chaotixblade]
