hi guys, im building my own rig its the first thing ive built in quite a long time so im a little bit nervous about im going to list the components i have selected and would your oponions
what im mainly looking is compatibility, i dont really have any way of doing bios updates for the CPU and things of that nature also bare in mind if you think i should make changes my budget is £400
Intel Core i3-3220 3.30GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail
HIS HD 7770 iCooler 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Asus P8Z77-V LX2 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST500DM002) HDD
Cooler Master Elite Power 500W Power Supply
Samsung SH-118AB/BEBE SATA 18x DVD-ROM (Black) - OEM
TP-Link 150Mbps Wireless PCI Express Adapter (TL-WN781ND)
seems like a pretty solid build to me i know i could save some cash by going with an AMD build but unless its a major difference is money id rather stick with i3 because my plan is to upgrade to a nice i5 or i7 in the future so yeah let me know what you think of the build before i push the order through make any improvements if you can see any to be made
thank you
