New to builds, advice needed

[Kimble]

Morning all,

Recently I've been interested in PC building. I have minimal knowledge but really want to get into it and give it a go. Im not fussy on what the first build can do as long as it turns on and operates as normal. It is more a test to see that I can do it then I'll go onto better builds.

I've watched a few videos on these budget builds for around £150 and scanned multiple sites on the basics then I thought that would be a good starting point. I made my way through ebay to pick up components and just wondered if anyone could tell me if they are compatible and would work etc

This is what I've got so far. Like I said I've got minimal knowledge so please don't laugh if its complete garbage

ASUS P8H61-M LX2 Socket LGA1155 DDR3 Motherboard

Intel Core i5-3470 3.20 GHz Processor

ASUS ATI Radeon HD 7870 Graphics Card

8GB (2x4GB) Kingston DDR3 Memory Modules

CIT M-300U 300W Micro ATX PSU Mini Desktop PC Power Supply

Avance Ergo H100 micro ATX desktop case

I haven't look for storage components yet but was looking at SSD of around 240gb

Any advice and information will be appreciated as I'm really keen to get into building.

Thanks for your time
Mike

Thanks for your input. Regarding the GPU I didnt really know what to look for. I just went on ebay for each component and went from there lol

Thanks for advice pastymuncher. I will look at changing that. Ive not bought any of the components yet, I've just got them watched on ebay. What is a minimum watt output to look at?
