Yeah that wasn't worded right lol. But you see my point. And yeah the cpu is tiny the smallest part of the build. its the CPU cooler that you gotta worry about if you decide to buy one, many cases cant hold the bigger ones. but honestly not really needed unless you plan to overclock, which doesnt look like the case looking at your cpu and mobo.

Building a pc is a walk in the park once you get into it. The motherboard usually comes with a manual on how to assemble pretty much the whole build.
Good luck nonetheless.

Kinda perfect! However I would shave off a few dollars on the motherboard and powersupply (450w would be enough) so you can get a 7850 1GB.

Thanks guys and when i said will it fit in the case i was thinking about the mobo lmao my bad on that. I kinda like buildings things putting it together and watching it work and thinking what a job well done. Alrighty i guess ill go with the 3220 since its like 5$ more.

Sorry, I am going to sleep. But to answer your question. Yes to 7850, yes to PSU, and here is the mobo I recommend! I have used it in builds for clients and it does everything you could ever want. It is my go to budget board!

Did you look at my link? That mother board is great. Here it is again in non-link form:

ASRock H61M-DGS LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

I know i saw but when i was on pcpartpicker it said Some Intel H61 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Ivy Bridge CPUs. So i wasnt sure :/ 


Just looked it up and I found several reviews that say it supported Ivy Bridge right away!

What resolution will you be gaming at? That will be the most important factor in determining whether you will be gaming at medium or high settings.

And if you don't know what you are doing, do yourself a favor and use this video--it was a lifesaver for me when I built my first rig! Don't try to wing it and cut corners. Watch the whole video and do exactly as he says and you will have no problems whatsoever.
