I have around 400$ for this build , my goal is to be able to run modern games without AA on 1280x1024 , prefebly on medium/high settings and get decent fps(like 40-60).
I'm not very experienced in pc building but I figure this build will be able to do that.
Motherboard-ASROCK H77 PRO4 MVP
CPU-Intel Pentium G2030 2x 3ghz
RAM-ADATA 4 gb 1600 DDR3
GPU-ASUS HD 7750 1gb DDR5
The box has a 400W power supply ,I will be using the hard drive and optical driver from my current pc , will 400W be enough?
Feedback on the parts and maybe better performance in the same price range would be appreciated
Hmm, seems good to me, although I'm somewhat concerned about the CPU that it might bottleneck the GPU... Maybe an i3 instead, unless that costs too much? Also, yeah, the power supply should be enough for now.
By the way, you might have been better off putting this thread in PC Building instead of Hardware and Software, in case you haven't noticed...
CPU is pretty weak, I'd suggest something like a i5 2500 although that will push your budget a bit, something cheaper but still good performance could be an i3 4130 or AMD FX-4350, really you don't want to cheap out on the processor.
For the memory I've never heard of ADATA, it's probably a better idea to go with a more well known brand like Corsair or Kingston, no real difference in price either.
The 7750 is rather low end, even at 1280x1024 you're likely to experience framerate problems on the most demanding games.
My suggested build:
Intel I3 4130 3.4Ghz - $150
ASROCK H77 PRO4 MVP - $110
Corsair Vengeance 4 GB 1600MHz - $60
Total: $320
As for GPU save up and get something decent.

That H77 might not work with an i3 4130.
You need the 8 series for that.
A z series on an i3 is useless anyway as they cannot overclock.
Get a h85 motherboard.

What he said. An h87 and an i3 4130. If you can save up a touch more a 7770 would be a better choice.
[url]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Chvt[/url] would be ideal for you. Still in budget, and has a better processor, better video card, and double the RAM.

Also if you could tell us your power supply brand. If it's a really bad IED PSU, I'd recommend [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx430[/url] which would still be within budget after MIR's.
