    My computer is shit.

    So , the computer I have is at it's ending stages of life. HITACHI hard drive...Intel P. 2.30 GHz....Yeah....

    And here's the questions I have

    If I buy the CPU , do i need the GPU?

    If I buy the GPU , do i need the CPU?

    Will this run Skyrim , Black Ops 2 , Minecraft SMOOOOTHLY(All Ultra High Graphics)

    Will everything I have down, fit in the case?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Oh, I've never seen that before. Make sure the reviews are good, and it's fine on running games and what not.

    It should be able to... the case itself is pretty big.

    That GPU is not going to run anything at ultra-high settings. The CPU basically has an Ati 7660 integrated into it which is fine for most things but it's still a low-mid range chip. It will run Skyrim on medium settings at least, Minecraft won't have a problem, not too sure about Black Ops.

    The CPU cooler you chose is also for Intel, you physically won't be able to mount it to your socket FM2 motherboard.

    If you're gaming i would be getting a dedicated GPU.

    That's a different socket & doesn't have a GPU

    Any AM3+ CPU with the same power will work better than FM2 APU. And you can save some money and buy a dedicated GPU.

    This is what i suggest to anyone that wants to buy a new PC.
    Buy a good processor max 4 Cores (8 cores for games is just waste of money), buy a decent amount of RAM 8 GB-1600 buy a motherboard with integrated graphics, and save money for some time and buy a good video card. Replacing the HDD is not required if you have a working one...

    ... Something that i dislike about modular PSU. That one that you have chosen is barely called a modular PSU. A modular PSU must have extra cables that you can replace if you require more of a type, not barely having 1 of each type.

    This is what i call a modular PSU CORSAIR HX Series HX850 850W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Newegg.com

    Yours has 23 connectors... The corsair has 34 connectors. So you can swap anything that you desire. It does cost more , but if the money is a problem you should buy a regular PSU.
