what do you think about my build

[activewheat]

ok so my old comp fried so im attempting to build a new one for the first time, so far what i have is

[B]MoBo[B]- BIOSTAR TZ77A LGA 1155
CPU- Intel Core i5-3570
PSU- CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 500w
O/S- Win7 64Bit home premium
SSD- SAMSUNG 840 Series 120GB SSD
G-Card- PNY GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB

The MoBo comes with 8GB of ram for free from new egg so theres the ram and i have 2 600GB HDD for file storage the SSD would be for boot mainly, i plan on using my old computer case if possable as im strapped for cash and need a computer asap. but my ultimate reason for posting this is to ask, is this all compatable? if bought should it all work? is there anything els you know ill need that im not aware of, if so plz share. also its mainly for WoW and everyday use, thinking about OCin the future

Prices? Hard to tell if you are getting a good deal without em. Also put them into http://pcpartpicker.com/ and it will tell you if any are incompatible.

[B]MoBo[B]- BIOSTAR TZ77A LGA 1155

Bad.

CPU- Intel Core i5-3570

Locked processor with a Z77 board. Either get a 3470 or get a 3570k.

PSU- CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 500w

I generally don't recommend Corsair Builder PSU's. They have too many known problems.

G-Card- PNY GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB

You got an SSD, but only got a 650 TI (non boost)? While it will run WoW, it's not that great of a card, and i doubt you cant afford a 650 TI boost.
I know you said the motherboard comes with 8gb ram, but it's not worth it. Biostar motherboards are terrible.

If you provide a budget we can cook up a build for you that would, most likely, better suit your needs.

ok well bassically i have about 700$ to play around with keep in mind i have 2 HDD so thats not needed so yea again im reaaaaly new to this so all help is welcomed i just want something that can play atleast wow on high settings ( no it doesnt have to be ultra right away) and do everyday use pretty fast id like to keep it upgradable so i can make it much better to overclock in the future once i get more cash saved up. also id like to stick with the i5. all my stuff posted is found on newegg.com

Theres a build within your budget. You honestly don't have the budget for an SSD. It's more of a luxury, anyway, as in-game performance isn't impacted at all short of loading screens. Going for an SSD would require either a $800 budget or sacrificing some performance.

You can always buy it later. I'd recommend buying the SSD later when you have more cash rather than buying something like a I3 3220 and buying a cooler + 3570k later.

You never said you had ram. You said you got it free with the motherboard, that i didn't recommend.

Are they any good? What size and what speed? And are they DDR2 or DDR3?

[chazus]

How old? Chances are they aren't compatible.

[activewheat]

ok so i decided to go with the 700$ build shown earlyer with ram and no SSD because yea this ram i have is from like 07 and i cant even find it on google by looking up the part number or anything. so yea final decision is on the first build you showed me, also is there anything i need to look at the old HDDs for to make sure there comptable, or should they work no matter what if i wipe and clean them

[chazus]

If they are IDE, they won't work with the new board. Do you know what brand/model/size they are?

[activewheat]

these are the harddrives i have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136218 or discontinued but should they work just fine for now, i wana use the extra stuff i have to try and save i do plan to upgrade them with a 1tb HDD and eventually get a SSD when i get the money

[Ripox]

Cut it short and get that first $700 build Killora suggested, tbh

[activewheat]

ok but again will these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136218 work or are they to outdated?

[chazus]

Those'll work fine. If you got a new drive, it would just be the 1TB version of that, effectively.
