Hello, I am a first time builder that needs some help. I want to build a gaming PC that runs most games at atleast medium, and I need to know if these parts are compatible with eachother. I also need to know which parts I should swap out. I already have a monitor and OS, so that's out of the way! :)
First, here is some info that might help:

My budget is about 650 dollars and I buy everything from newegg.

I want to stick to Intel CPU's and Intel compatible mobos, since I was gonna go for an i3 CPU.

I am not planning to overclock.

My monitor size is 1920x1200. I know that the video card I chose doesn't support that resolution, but I chose it because I was planning to upgrade it later (I am open to some recommendations for other video card anyway :) ).

Now, I know my Power Supply is not the best, so I wanna know what I should get instead.


Now to the parts I currently have planned to purchase and put together into a medium gaming rig. :)

It has an excellent upgrade path. And it will run just about every game you throw at it on ultra settings at comfortable frames. If you want, you can stick with the Cooler Master case you picked out. I chose the Antec because it is a well known and beloved case.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I hope this helps; good luck!
