Solve : Compatibility of parts for my first build?

Answer»

Hi I am hoping someone could help me assess a list of components I have chosen to build for my first custom pc.
My main worry is that they won't all work together. Any advice would be much appreciated.

The components:

Processor
AMD FX6300 3.5HZ AM3+ 6 CORE 14MB CACHE


Motherboard
MSI 970A G43 HD AUDIO ATX
4DDR3 SLOTS
SUPPORTS DR3 1066/ 1333/ 1600/ 1866 / 2133(OC) MHz


Ram
HYPER FURY 4GB 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM MEMORY (RAM)


HARD DRIVE
WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR BLUE
250GB
16MB CACHEWD2500AAKS

Graphics card
ASUS GEFORCE GT710 2GB DDR3 VGA DVI-D HDMI PCI-E GRAPHICS CARD


Case
CIT DEFENDER BLACK INTERIOR 500W 12cm BLACK PSU 12cm BLUE LED FAN


Thanks in advance
I suppose it really comes down to what you are needing it for and what your budget is. For gaming the GeForce 710 video card you have is extremely LOW end and won't really be usable for anything but the most basic of games.

I also wouldn't use the power supply included with a case (especially a CiT one) as they are absolute rubbish and RUN the risk of damaging other components. You should always buy a PSU from a reputable brand such as Corsair, XFX, Seasonic, EVGA.etc

If the parts you have listed are at the upper limit of your budget, you would probably be better of waiting and SAVING up for something better.
