Is this a decent build?

[loseygosey69]

Im starting to save up for my first computer. Ill be building it by myself and am on a tight budget so if you see anyways i can save some cash please let me know. Most importantly I need to know if everything I have chosen is compatible. Here are the parts I have picked out.

Cooler Master Elite 361 Mid-tower
Cooler Master exteme power plus 600w
8 GB corsiar vengance
Lite-on super allwrite sata 24x dvd drive
WD blue 1TB hard drive 3.5 inch 7200rpm, sata III, 64 mb cache
Intel Core i5-3470
MSI Nvidia geforce gtx 650 TI power edition 1GB DDR5
MSI LGA1155/Intel B75/DDR3/SATA3 USB 3.0/A&GbE/MicroATX Motherboard B75MA-P45

So just let me know if this looks like a good budget build and if you see anything that wont be compatible. Also any tips on how to save some cash would be much appreciated. Thanks

Don't get a coolermaster PSU. They are crap Get a 500w unit from Corsair, Antec, XFX, Seasonic

What is the main use of this computer going to be?

its going to be for gaming. im not looking to run every game on ultra just high or medium high is fine. i figured i would go for 600w because the gpu requires at least 500w is that ok to just get the bare minimum?

edit: ok i just looked on amazon and the corsair 600w is cheaper than the 500w and both are cheaper than the cooler master i had in mind so thanks for that.

That card will need like 300w MAX. A corsair cx430 could power it no problem. A good 500w supply will run everything just fine.

Quality Lower Wattage PSU > Crappy Higher Wattage PSU

500W would be plenty, and as tiny voices said, Corsair cx430 would be enough.

Good build all around; what websites were you wanting to use to buy the parts?
