Low end gaming build - need advice.

[TheGothBehindYa]

Bitfenix Prodigy 68.95
(Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced Mini-ITX Case - 39.98 would this fit everything?)


Asus P8H77-I Motherboard
(Any better 1155 boards out there for the price?)


Corsair CMX8GX3M2B1600C9 XMS 8gb 1600mz 2x4gb
(Got this because it's fairly low profile - any suggestions?)


Intel i3 3220 dual core
(Prefer Intel over AMD but open to ideas/new mobo etc.)


VTX3D AMD Radeon X-edition 7850 2gb
(Like the looks of this BUT would spend £70 more if I went win8 dev preview - what card? Can overclock so prefer AMD to Nvidia)


Western Digital Caviar Blue 500gb
(Will get an 840 ssd later, so this isn't a concern)


Corsair 430w CX430
(Enough juice?)


All tapped out on my Samsung Note so I can't give OC links/pictures (ignorance) and have to be brief. Any glaring problems (insufficient psu etc.) or better/cheaper options for similar power? Not a 1080p fetishist, don't mind playing on low/med options since I'm coming from a console and this is entry level.

Thanks! (This...took...ages...to...write. Damn perfectionismosity and idc if that's not a word.)

Not sure if you need to remove HDD try in order to fit longer graphics card in the Cooler Master going by pictures in this thread. If the VTX is a long card.

If you plan to stay with Intel's stock cooler or upgrade to a use a non-monstrous cooler in the future you could go with Silverstone SG-05 or SG-06 (starting at £83) with 300W PSU if you don't mind being tied to a propriety/limited choice PSU size. Providing VTX 7850 isn't too long.

The 450W PSU model is probably above budget, and people have use the 300W model for far more demanding systems in the past.

As Bane (Tom hardy) said the CM 120 should for everything though HDD upgrade space may be limited.

The build you have looks good. The Cpu is VERY capable and the motherboard has great features for the price. Stick with it.

RAM is good, I have some XMS3 myself.

Psu wise, you should look at the xfx 450. That's a better PSU. Though still not a bad choice.

The GPU is good enough for all (bar very few) games on high/ultra. So don't worry there. If you do have that £80 spare grab a 7950, if in price range or a 7870XT. The 660ti is another option.

If you go for the SG05 and its a lovely case with plenty of room for the 7850 (7950 is too long) then get the 450W one its a few quid more but gives the headroom your going to want if your overclocking.
