Hello.
i am looking to buy a budget pc. However i am not sure whether all of the components will be compatible with each other and if the power supply would be enough. Below are the specs.

Silverstone RL01B USB 3.0

ASRock 970DE3/U3S3 Motherboard

AMD Bulldozer FX-6100 Socket AM3+ 6 Core Processor - 3.30GHz, 3.90GHz Turbo

Asus Radeon HD 7770 DirectCU Graphics Card (1GB GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0, 1020MHz/4600MHz, HDMI, DVI-I, DVI-D, AMD CrossFireX Technology, AMD Eyefinity Technology)

Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C11 2133MHz Dual CHannel Kit

Samsung 24x SH-224BB DVD-RW SATA

BitFenix 120mm Spectre Fan - White

450W Powercool PSUPC450AUBAM, Modular, 80% Eff', 80 PLUS, SLI/CrossFire, EPS 12V, Quiet Fan, ATX v2.2, PSU
 
What is your system budget?

Thought about Intel?

That PSU is pile of rubbish, in terms of power it's plenty but quality is very poor.
 
im trying to spend as less as i can.

when it comes to psu's you want to buy a brand name that you can trust. stick to companies such as corsair xfx seasonic ocz cooler master.

cheap psu's have a chance of shorting out and sometimes can damage the rest of the components in the machine. so we dont ever take that risk with them

a 550watt to 600 watt should be fine.
 
Don't buy a cheap PSU, get a decent branded one as others have said.

What are you going to be using the PC for?

Judging by the components your budget is around £400 ish?

Here is another suggestion with a better graphics card if you're gaming:


YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI HD 7850 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cards w/ Nexuiz, Sleeping Dogs & Dirt Showdown PC Games £131.99
1 x Intel Core i3-3220 3.30GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £99.95
1 x Gigabyte H61MA-D3V Intel H61 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £47.99
1 x Toshiba (7K1000.D) 500GB SATA 6GB/s 32MB Cache - OEM (DT01ACA050) £43.99

Also you didn't have a hard drive or SSD in your list, was this deliberate?
