@Tasuma thank you for that information about following. I like the look of the build. I am brand new to PC building so pardon the probable noob question but, Is that a large improvement over my build? I'm presuming so as Skylake anything seems to be the current thing. Lol

Hello everyone I am currently putting together my first gaming PC build as I am switching from consoles to PC. Ive spent a few weeks researching and have come up with a build for a gaming PC that can run current games at high setting which is what I am looking for. The idea was simply that I wanted a good gaming machine that performed better than a ps4 or Xbox one and one that was in a case that I really liked. The following is my build. Please let me know what you think and if possible if I can really expect it to handle current games at good settings. CPU- Intel I5 4460 (quad core 3.2ghz) MOTHERBOARD- ASROCK Micro Atx H97M Pro4 RAM- 8GB Corsair Vengeance (2x4gb) HDD- Western Digital Blue GPU- XFX Radeon Double D R9 280 3gb (ddr5) pSU- Sea Sonic S12II bronze 80+ 520w Case- Cuboid Blue That is my build. A few upgrades I plan on doing relatively shortly after building it is getting a Samsung EVO ssd as well as an additional 8gb of Ram. Thank you for looking and any advice you have. I only ask that it stay in this case and stay in the roughly 700 range I have for my budget. Thank you for reading.

Thank you very much everyone.that really helps me out quite a bit.

Hello everyone I am putting together my first build right now and am confused about the power supply ive chosen based off of advice and pcpartpicker versus what the graphics card box states. I am going to be using the Sea Sonic S12II bronze 80+ power supply in my build which seems more than sufficient as the build comes out to be 418w according to pcpartpicker. The graphics card however states it requires a 750w power supply. The card is an XFX Radeon R9 280 Double D. Now I've seen multiple YouTube channels say 500w is fine in a single card build but wanted to be sure. Thank you very much and sorry if this is a common sense thing. First time build and want to make sure I don't mess it up.
