Hey, I have been wanting to build a computer now and have decided to do it while I have a bit of spare cash and was wanting some opinions on it, I have never built a PC before and really am doing this for a bit of experience. So heres what I was thinking of, I will be buying all of these parts on amazon.

 

NOTE: Because of where I live, I will only be ordering parts off amazon.

 

Budget: $515USD

I am considering a different graphics card.

 

CPU:

Intel Core i5-4590

 

Motherboard:

MSI Computer Corp. H81M-E34 Motherboards

 

RAM:

Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB 1866MHz DDR3 (HX318C10FK2/8)

GPU:

 

PSU:

EVGA 500 W1 80+

 

HDD:

Seagate 1TB  (ST1000DM003)

 

Case:

Sentey® KRON GS-6005

 

Any Suggestions?

 

Thanks

More graphics card less CPU. Get an SSD if you can. I've never heard of cases by Sentey, not saying that they're bad, but they certainly aren't common. Maybe do some research on it before buying.  Also, use automatic font, dark theme users can't read what you wrote.

Don't bother buying a GPU if you go with the GT 740, just use integrated graphics. 750 Ti or 260x would be alright choices, but they will be struggling to run AAA games within a year or so. I would try to pick a GPU up used on Craigslist or eBay, I actually just bought a 7970 today for $85, which would give me double the performance of a 750 Ti for $20 less.

Why no G3258? The i3 is more expensive and less powerful.

Have you checked out pricing and availability on nz.pcpartpicker.com? Shipping, taxes, and import duties often make foreign purchases as or more expensive. In addition, warranties may not be valid or an item may have to be returned to the country of purchase.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

your joking right?

Oh shite, I am wrong. I was always looking at overclocked numbers on the Pentium. Allow me to correct myself: It is cheaper and better when overclocked in titles that don't take advantage of HT (do any?).

Intersting. I should have said, I do a bit of game development and thought a better CPU might be important, I really need a quad core and thought and I3 was the best choice. I don't do much gaming other than testing. (My games are not graphics intensive.)
