Well, I am starting to purchase parts on my build, like 1 or 2 every week. I've already gotten my PSU and sound card. Here's the thingy:

I looked around for cheaper alternatives to an i5 by intel.
According to pcpartpicker, there was no incompatibilities.
I have a few questions:
1) Is everything compatible?
2) Anything I should change? (The Hitachi Storage doesn't look too reliable.)
3) Arma II is the most intensive game I have. Do you think this would do well with mid-high graphics?
This setup is mostly for gaming and a tiny bit of video rendering.

I was aiming for 600-750$ with this build.

The GPU isnt too powerfull.
The PSU is really on the low wattage side.
You dont need a sound card its on the mobo already.
The HDD you picked is kinda slow.
I also wouldnt pick a micro ATX mobo. They usually have all kinds of problems (like crosstalk) due to being so small.
Overall its not a really good build im honest.

Take some info from this thread and Levelog's build.

Now, would the PSU be still enough? I know it's low end, but I already purchased it. I mean, I CAN return it, if I really have to. Not a problem.
I'd return it. You can get a corsair 430 watt for cheaper. 350 would be cutting it too close for comfort
You really should return it. I didn't even know they still sold 350w psus
I purchased the PSU online. I replaced some of the parts you said weren't too good with the ones in the thread you suggested.

[B]Edit:[/B]
Forgot to include that the graphics card above is not the one you suggested, but it's one that according to [url]http://gpuboss.com/gpus/MSI-GeForce-GTX-760-vs-GIGABYTE-GeForce-GTX-660[/url] is just a little worse, and less wattage.
Again that PSU is bellow the recommend minimum for that gpu, which is 450w. The 760 is miles ahead of the 660 though, I strongly recommend it. The motherboard already has a soundcard, i'm not sure why you're buying a new one.
