Are these parts compatible?

[Guest]

Hello

I am building my first gaming computer and do all these parts fit in the Antec Eleven Hundred and are they all compatible? And do you think these parts are good? Please tell me if you think any of these parts aren't very good. And do you think the 500 watt PSU will power the whole system? And do you think the computer would run fast and be able to play most new games on high settings?

Processor: Intel i5 - 3570

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LK

Memory: Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8

Graphics Card: Hightech HIS Radeon HD 7850 Graphic Card H785F2G2M

Power Supply: Corsair CX500M 500W

All parts are compatible and will fit in the Eleven Hundred. The minimum power recommended for your system is 500W, so I would suggest getting a 550W PSU to be on the safe side. Also, invest in an after market cooler.

For the CPU?

No, you won't need one, especially since you have a non-K processor and won't be overclocking.

And if you aren't looking to Crossfire in the future, grab a H77 or B75 mobo; they're cheaper.

Sorry I don't know that much about hardware. What is crossfire?

Crossfire is when you connect multiple graphics cards to the motherboard for better performance.

Also, I suggested a cheap aftermarket cooler as you are going to use the PC for gaming.
This may not be essential in case the PC will be in an air-conditioned environment.
