Building my first gaming computer, are all these parts compatible?

Definitely x out that power supply. You are far above its capability. The HD 7970 requires a 6 and an 8 pin pcie auxiliary connector set to the power supply.

The Corsair CX430M has one 6+2 pin so you only cover the 8 pin. On 12V, you have a 125 watt CPU, not setup for overclock based on lack of a good CPU cooler HD 7970 at 230 watts, three fans and the HDD expected for 50 watts = 12V pull of 405 watts. Buffer for efficiency and wear to a minimum 486 watts at 12V CX430M is only 32A at 12V = 384 watts.

The CX600 is more like it. Gets you the pcie connectors and 46A 12V = 552 watts available. The 7970 is a powerful GPU to pair up with a Phenom.

You have not listed your computer case to hold an 11 inch long card. Expect some games that the cpu bottlenecks the HD 7970 and you don't see expected performance. Although the GPU is very important, you cannot squeeze all the other parts to get to it.

You should use a 1TB HDD as the cost spread is very little, and modern builds are adding an SSD for internet cache, game loading, Windows, or video editing if any prior to archive. One HD 7970 already is too much for that CPU. Not sure of the purpose behind a 2 slot motherboard.

Battlefield-4 should run on maximum settings, but still limited by the CPU. Some high CPU gaming will definitely see bottlenecking. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gami...

I think you should have no problem to run frostbite 3 engine with that monster GPU... AMD is cheaper than intel and I think your getting something very godd for your budget. I agree that you better change you power supply try to gett a 600W or more for better results!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
