Sub-500 Build Help

[nicnac20]

I am looking at building my first PC and was hoping to find some help by getting a look over of the parts and seeing if they are compatible with one another. I will be using this mainly as a gaming system with games that I have bought off of Steam.

CPU: Intel Core i3-2120
Motherboard: Biostar H61MLV LGA 1155 H61 MicroATX Intel Motherboard
Video Card: EVGA NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 1024MB GDDR5
Ram: 4GB DDR3
PSU: Thermaltake 500 Watt ATX Power Supply
Memory: 320GB SATA 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Optical Drive: ASUS 24x Internal DVD
Tower: Cooler Master HAF912 Mid Tower

Thank you to everyone that helps!

P.S. My game list includes:

Assassin's Creed 1, 2, and Brotherhood
Bastion
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Bioshock 1 and 2
Borderlands
Dead Space 1 and 2
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fallout 3
Half-Life 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Metro 2033
Portal 1 and 2
Prince of Persia
Team Fortress 2
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction

I am planning on getting newer games as well such as Skyrim

What resolution will you be gaming at?. The thermaltake PSU is no good, get this Antec power supply instead its more reliable in every aspect.

PS: you posted in the wrong section. we have a section for questions.

Oh my fault sorry, and i'll be gaming at 720p most likely

[ricky07652]

The Tier 2 will handle TF2 HL2, LFD2, and Portal 2 at max settings at 1080p, so 720p should be better. As for the other games, high or max settings will do fine.

Alright thank you! And would this CPU really be able to deal with two 550 Ti's or would it just bottleneck?

[ricky07652]

Unless you want PhysX, go with two 7770s, as it has better peformance, and it won't have your fps jumping all around.
No, it won't be bottlenecked

Oh okay thanks!
