I'm planning on getting the following parts to build my first homebuilt gaming pc, hopefully before Christmas (planning on purchasing this week). Since it's my first, and because it's a lot of money for me, could someone please check over the parts and assure me they are all compatible and reasonable for this build?
The parts are the following:
- Casecom shiny black mid tower case with front 120mm led fan (£21.48)

- Arctic Power 500W PSU (£29.99)
http://www.ebuyer.com/124922-arctic-power-500w-psu-p2-arctcic-500td
- Asus P8Z68-V LX socket 1155 onboard graphics output 8 channel audio ATX MOBO (£81.39)

- Intel Core i5 2500 3.3GHz socket 1155 6MB cache retail boxed processor (£161.69)
http://www.ebuyer.com/251597-core-i5-2500-3-3ghz-socket-1155-6mb-cache-retail-boxed-processor-bx80623i52500
- G-Skill 8GB (2x4gb) DDR3 1600MHz RipjawsX Memory Kit CL9 1.5V (£35.72)
http://www.ebuyer.com/264750-g-skill-8gb-2x4gb-ddr3-1600mhz-ripjawsx-memory-kit-cl9-9-9-9-24-1-5v-f3-12800cl9d-8gbxl
- PowerColor HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI DP out PCI-E Graphics card (£114.99)
http://www.ebuyer.com/248746-powercolor-hd-6850-1gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-hdmi-dp-out-pci-e-graphics-ax6850-1gbd5-dh
- Seagate 500GB 3.5'' SATA-III 6GB/s Barracuda hard drive 7200RPM, 16MB Cache (£64.98)
http://www.ebuyer.com/272944-seagate-500gb-3-5-sata-iii-6gb-s-barracuda-hard-drive-7200rpm-16mb-cache-st500dm002
-LiteOn iHAS124-19 24xDVD+RW DL&RAM Sata optical drive - OEM black (£14.20)
http://www.ebuyer.com/176026-liteon-ihas124-19-24x-dvd-rw-dl-ram-sata-optical-drive-oem-ihas124-19
-Microsoft Windows 7 home premium w/SP1 -License and Media- OEM - 64bit (£70.65)
http://www.ebuyer.com/259863-microsoft-windows-7-home-premium-w-sp1-licence-and-media-1-gfc-02050
- All in 1 internal Card reader plus one USB2.0 Port - 3.5'' bay (£6.57)
http://www.ebuyer.com/108453-all-in-1-internal-card-reader-plus-one-usb2-0-port-black-cardreader-int-23
The whole build would come to £602.
I hope that's enough information. Some of the questions I have been wondering are the following:
- Is the case large enough to fit everything in?
- Will everything connect with the mobo?
- Have I completely forgot about any important parts?
- Does the PSU have enough power?
- Are any of the parts much too 'overpowered' or 'good' compared to the rest?
- Do any of the parts seem overpriced?
- Any ways of making the build slightly better without spending much more, or alternatively, how can I save some money without losing much performance?
These are just some example questions, I've been researching this whole topic for a while now, and have tried to answer as many questions as I can myself. I figured before actually purchasing I'd ask some people with more experience than myself though, just to be sure.
I appreciate any advice or suggestions,
Thanks
