Hi All, I'm planning to assemble my own budget PC and wondering if everything will fit and work together at once.

Not sure about the costs you're spending, but the Z series motherboard with a G series Pentium looks quite poor. A 250gb HDD is even worse since normal HDDs cost around $40 each. I don't know where the GPU comes from, but if it's new it should be around $300 or more. For that price, there are definitely better options available. You might want to think about a complete overhaul of your setup.

Aim for a higher PSU if possible, though it has sufficient capacity; its quality falls short. XFX and Seasonic models perform well, and an EVGA 600B would offer a more affordable alternative. Consider purchasing an aftermarket CPU cooler for the G3258 to enable overclocking. A Hyper 212 Evo for $20 is adequate for some overclocking setups.

I don’t know where the GPU comes from, but if it’s new it should probably be around $300 or more. For that price you could definitely upgrade your setup. Honestly, a full rebuild would be better.

I believed he would receive the component because he mentioned "new" in the title.

The cpu is functional, but my concern is whether it will integrate properly. I can upgrade later, though I’m not in a position to secure a job right now. The pc will cost 366 dollars. I have all the other components except the motherboard, and I found a good deal for the z87-gd65 gaming graphics card at 102 dollars.

102 dollars for a motherboard that supports such a low CPU isn't a good offer, you might want to think about other options.

K, thank you for the response. I plan to upgrade the HDD and processor, but I'll hold off on the PSU for a bit.
