Looks good, nothing looks obviously incompatible. 5400RPM is slow for a desktop drive, I think. Nice to see the video card comes with the adapter for that stupid mini-HDMI.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake,
you just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake.

Also, your PSU is kind of low wattage, it'll work but you may run into problems later if you upgrade. You can get a much higher wattage for a similar price. Also make sure you look at the power connections on the PSU, and make sure you have enough etc.

That was why I suggested you go to a bigger PSU. The combo is a good deal though you basically got the PSU for fee.

When all the dust settled how much did it cost total?

Total Cost: $664 with shipping

I am very happy that they only charged me 3 bucks for shipping the case, it is so big and heavy


This was a budget PC, I am only going to use it to play some TF2, Starcraft 2 and The Old Republic
