Helping my cousin building a build with a budget under $250. First thing is I need to know if this build is compatible with each other and do you guys know any other items that can be replaced that is cheaper and both better. IDC if it's from a different site. I'm really not sure if everything is compatible with the Motherboard so I really need help there. Also would this be able to run source games on high decent and newer games like Heroes of Newerth?

Also if I get this GPU Fan would it work with the GPU we are getting? And the GPU isn't that strong, but OC'd it will be able to run high-end games. I'm hoping the GPU Fan/Heatsink I'm getting will be able to allow me to overclock. Please review all of this and tell me any flaws IE: compatibility issues and if the Fans aren't going to work that well and such. Thanks for helping guys.

He's running a resolution of 1440 x 900 I believe it said somewhere.

check this thread: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1109969-Mega-budget-computer-(-150-250)[/url] Also, get atleast 350, then you can get a AMD Llano build or whatever
Also forgot to say we already have a new power supply and everything else. We just need a new MOBO/GPU/RAM/CPU. Updated OP, thanks for reading.
