    Hey guys, first time on this forum so be gentle!

    I'm looking to build a gaming PC for myself for roughly 800 quid. It doesn't have to be top of the line, just good enough to do me. I'm sort of floundering a bit however when it comes to the component selection. I've been on hardwareversand.de on I have these so far:

    CPU: Intel Core i4-4590 €176.59
    Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33, mATX, Sockel 1150 €40.94
    PSU: Corsair CS450M Modular 450W ATX2.3 €57.58
    RAM: 8GB G.Skill RipJaws X PC3-12800U CL9 €75.84
    GPU: HIS Radeon R9 280 IceQ x2 3GB €186.97
    SSD: Crucial MX100 SSD 128GB €58
    HDD:Seagate Barracuda 7200 1TB SATA 6GB/s €49.81
    Case: Antec Nine Hundred Two V3, ATX €94.91
    Drive: Samsung Sh-224DB €12.83

    Total: €752.96

    Would these be good components for a gaming pc?
    I guess my biggest fear is buying parts that are incompatible but I don't really have a clue which are and which aren't.
    Also would I need a better PSU than that? I understand that they're incredibly important (particularly if I'm overclocking).

    If you guys have any suggestions, please let me know!
    thanks a mill
