Check my build (Im stressed)

[Rob_the_scot]

Im stressed to the max on this build Iv had to cut corners here there and every where (you guys know why)

If I put a * beside it I already own it

i3 4140 =£79.98
520W Seasonic M12II-520, Modular =£53.08

elite 120*
asus h81 itx*
sapphire 7870*
120gb pny ssd*
250gb laptop hdd*
msi water cooler* (given by mate who got it free with mobo)
12gb ddr3 corsiar vengence 1600mhz* (over kill but hat got it free from good mate)


Im probably stressing over nothing but my mind keeps telling me it will suck.

this build is for gaming only to replace xbox 360 and ps3 than Im sick to death of playing

Not too sure about fitting the watercooler into the case? Could make things a little tight.
As for the RAM, you say 12GB, although that's surely 3x4GB sticks which won't all fit in the motherboard?

You say for gaming but there's no graphics card?

From the two parts you've actually got left to buy you probably can't do that much better. The only possible issues would be with the parts you already have which doesn't really help you.

Cse was modded to fit a cooler so looks like the elite 130,
ram is 8gb plus 4gb
sorry forgot to put down the 7870 I own

In that case everything looks fine really.

Do you mean the Intel 4130 - rather than 4140?

yea you are correct i3 4130

That'll be fine. You've got no worries bud . That 7870 might get a little warm if it isn't a blower type cooler (aka stock amd cooler) as thats the best type of gpu to have with that case as airflow isn't great but it should be ok.
