Would this loadout work?

[Tounix]

I have been planning on building a PC for a while. I put it together in 1 day, so I am obviously going to move things around a bit. I don't know much about building computers so I wanted to ask if this loadout would be enough for mediocre gaming. Would this be able run Runescape, MW3, BF3, DayZ and other such games at medium graphics?

I am open to suggestions if you think I should switch out parts. Thanks.

Don't get an Antec 300. I have one and the airflow isn't great because of the non-existent cable management. Everything else looks good to me.

That won't work, you need to update Z68 BIOS if you want to use 3rd Gen CPU.
GTX550 Ti is worst graphic card.
Never heard of that PSU. It will probably destroy your hardware if it becomes faulty. You should never ever in building computer cheap out on PSU
Seagate HDD are horrible.


Here's a 10x better build.

Yes lol, Nvidia and AMD makes Graphic cards and Intel and AMD makes CPU. So yes it will work.

Cheers! I have a question though. The graphics card you recommended is made my AMD, so is it compatible with the intel motherboard?

You can put any branded graphic card in any Intel or AMD motherboard.

If you can spend extra on a 6870. It's a huge performance increase or if you want a more decent GPU 7850. Which can be overclocked to be inpair with a GTX580.

The Antec 300 is a good case, it's just outdated..

I've obviously missed something, mind pointing it out?

Oh, it was the 550? I swear to fuck it was the 560.. Oops.

You're right about everything else as well.
