Need help with my first build

Hardware Build a PC

I already have 1 in mind with my 1200 dollar budget but then I asked somebody and they made me make unsure about it (even though they didn´t help with it :P)

My initial concern is that the RAM or the Video card might not be compatible with the Motherboard. I´d like the budget to go to 2000 even though I unfortunately surpassed it by 30 dollars. I assume there are cheaper motherboards out there but I have little knowledge about which are good and which are mediocre.

Your processor could be better for your budget. Knock some off on your keyboard and get a better CPU

3

Any recommendations? At this point I´m only concerned about the compatibility of the 560ti and my motherboard.

4

Hmm...what are you planning on using this build for?

5

Playing games like BF3, Skyrim, etc.

6

Right okay then. Go with the i5 3570k which you can overclock like a monkey on bananas. The 1155 socket will fit your motherboard and stop any bottlenecking. Your GPU choice is good.

Oh, they are exactly the same price lol. Didn´t realize it. Can you give me a word on the compatibility of everything?

8

It all works together mate.

Ok thanks a lot
