Please let me know if all these parts are compatible, and will make for a nice budget PC build:
CPU: Intel Pentium G620 Sandy Bridge 2.6GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80623G620
GPU: ASUS EAH6670/DIS/1GD5 Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 V2 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Optical Drive: ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD1600AAJS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Case: Rosewill Blackbone Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Motherboard: ASRock H61M-DGS LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
I read that the 3.0 x16 PCIe slot on the motherboard is backward compatible with the 2.1 x16 PCIe on the GPU. Is that true?
Is there another better budget motherboard than the one I have chosen?
This PC will be built to play games like Skyrim, Diablo III, and Minecraft on medium settings.
I will be using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit.
Please help, any and all tips are greatly appreciated.
