First Build $1000 Budget

[silvis92]

Hello I am making my first build and I was wondering if all the parts I picked are good and if there are any compatibility issues. I am going to use this for gaming. The game I really want to use this for is Final Fantasy XIV.

Mobo: ASRock z77 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293
Video Card: EVGA 01G-P3-1361-KR GeForce GTX 460 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130749
Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148221
Memory: CORSAIR XMS 4GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233132
Case: COOLER MASTER HAF 912 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233
Heatsink: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065
PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139021
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504

All of this comes to around $808.

The build is definitely compatible, but you didn't balance it out. The graphics card you picked is really low end and it's the most important part of your build. Also, it's good to have 8GB of RAM. Here's my suggestion, get a GTX 570, 8GB of RAM and drop your PSU to a TX 650 v2.

Hi there yes all your parts are compatible but i would suggest you get a better GPU a R7850 or a GTX 570 would be ideal for a $1000 gaming build

if $1000
Memory: 8GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428

You could get a R7850 just switch out the GTX 570 I prefer the GTX 570 myself but both are great cards and you couldn't go wrong with either of them
