Building my first pc

Yingyang84

Hi all. I am looking to build a pc for gaming/general web browsing. I've watched many a video on youtube to learn as much as i can. I have listed my components below and was after after some thoughts/advice (if i've over looked or forgotten/misunderstood anything). I haven't got a lot to spend and my budget is around £700.

On my list so far is:

MSI- Z87 GD65 mother board

Intel I5 4590 processor

MSI Nvidia gtx760 2gb ddr5 graphics card

Corsair vengeance 8gb (2x4gb) RAM

San Disk 128gb SSD

WD 1TB Green HD

Corsair RM550

CiT Black Widow mesh gaming case

Windows 7 (which i already own)

I then have a little left over to get some more case fans and maybe a H80 corsair water cooler. Thoughts and advice greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Tons tons stronger in performance at the cost of an SSD. Get the SSD later to get more performance now

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

I'll repeat myself- if you don't critique eachother's builds and describe your builds the OP has no idea what to choose.

Intel Inside. Overweight guy in his 30's outside.
