First time build: Are these parts compatible?

Last response: in Systems
Share

Hello, I am a first time builder, and I want to make a gaming computer that can run games at atleast medium settings.
My budget is at about 700 dollars.
I want to stick to intel CPUs and Intel compatible mobos since I decided to use the intel core i3.
I am not planning to overclock.
My monitor size is 1980x1020
So, here are the parts:

Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid Tower Case

Corsair GS 800, 800W atx PSU

Crucial DDR3 SO-DIMM 4GB RAM

Intel Core i3 CPU

MSI Z77A-g41 Mobo

Sapphire Radeon HD 7750 GPU

Western Digital 500 Gb SATA HDD

Asus DVD writer Optical Drive

Micrsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

So I'm wondering if all these parts are compatible. Any feedback is much appreciated :D 
Thank you!

Look fine to me. You could save some money and get a smaller psu. Maybe like a 500 or 450 watt would be fine.


^+1. This is an understatement :D . You could power three of the system you built with an 800w PSU.

I reccommend
Corsair Builder 430W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($34.99 @ Newegg)

If you want to game at medium settings @ 1920x1080, I reccommend at least a 650ti or 7770. You could use the money saved on the PSU to strengthen the video card.

take a look at the $600 build in my sig. It's gone up a bit due to price fluctiations since I designed it, but it's still well under $700 and can run high settings @ 60 fps on nearly every game in existence.

enjoy!

Thanks, I have changed the PSU to the one you recommended and it saved me about 60 bucks. I also got a 7770 GPU with that money :)
