As I'm in dire need of a new computer I'm struggling with the technical aspects of doing so.

This is the setup I think will be good and matches, but I'm not sure.

My plans with this pc is: play high graphical games, basically smooth on every aspect.

specs:


Hard Disk: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB,7200rpm,16MB,SATA
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 250, 3.0GHz, 2MB, AM3, 65W, Box
Motherboard: Asus M4A77TD, AM3, 770G, 4xDDR3, PCIe, ATX
Power: CoolerMaster GX 550W, 550Watt, ATX
Casing: NZXT Guardian 921 Midi-Tower mATX/ATX, noPSU
RAM: Corsair XMS3 4GB(2x2GB) PC3-10666/1333MHz
DC Player: Asus DVD-E818A6T 18x48x DVD-Rom, Zwart, SATA
GFX Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5570 1GB, LP,D-Sub/DVI/DP,PCIe
Accecories: Revoltec 30cm Cold Cathode Light Blue DUO
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 H. Prem. NL, 64b, oem

Total Price: 665 Euro

Is there anything I left out ?
Is it good value for money ?
Does everything match ?

ps: I haven't bought it yet, decided to ask you guys first.

Thanks in advance,

Joury

Hey Joury. Welcome to the forums.

Your build looks good, but if you want to play high-end games smoothly, you're going to need a lot more than the Radeon HD 5570. The 5770 should be minimum consideration. The 5850 would be ideal, but it's rather pricey.

thanks for your reply,

so I take it this card is much better? or do I rly need the 1GB card?
Asus EAH5770/2DI/512MD5 512MB, HDMI, DVI, VGA,PCIe

the part I was most concerned about is: would everything work when it gets installed? does it everything match? am i missing any crucial components?

and is 550 Watt sufficient for the 5770 graphic card?
ive got a spare 460 Watts power supply left, would that be sufficient aswell?

That video card would be fine. Keep in mind, it's not top of the line, but it should play newer games without much trouble at all.

The 550 watt psu should be fine too. I'm not familiar with that particular psu, but I see no reason why it shouldn't perform like it's supposed to.
