i was looking for the phenom 2, but i couldnt find any available :(

a 2500k would be nice, but my budget is very tight. also, i didnt think many games had quad core support??
thankyou for the suggestion on the cpu cooler though, i will take it into account :)

I plan to build a gaming pc over the next month, to play games such as metro 2033, CSS, Crysis warhead, the stalker series and especially team fortress 2. I've got rough idea of what I want, and was wondering if these parts were compatible with eachother ???

Xfx 6870 gpu
i3 2120 cpu
xms3 4gb ram
hyper 212 evo cpu cooler
corsair gs 600 psu
coolermaster elite 430 case
Asus P8H61-V Rev 3.0, Intel H61, motherboard
500GB Seagate ST500DM002 Barracuda SATA 6Gb/s, 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, 8.5ms, NCQ
Sony AD-7280S-0B 24x DVD±R, 12xDVD±DL, DVD+RW x8/-RWx6 ,12xRAM SATA, Black, OEMoptical drive

Additional info
I'm from England
max budget is 600 pounds
I have no desire to overclock
this will be my first build

Any help would be appreciated :):)

If it ends up being another Tools of Destruction then not so much. I mean the game was good but it was too easy for my tastes and kind of repetitive. I'm pretty sure I'll get it eventually though. Odrec

theres no need to worry, ACIT has difficulty levels like quest for booty, so the game being to easy shouldnt be a problem :)
