Motherboard is fine, change the cpu to 4670k if your just gaming, or 4770k if you want extra power for multitasking speed and editing, and if you want cheaper and you're not planning to overclock, buy 4670 or 4770 without the k's 

[harrynowl]

Pretty sure the hefty price premium for that 760 isn't worth it compared to something like a 280X/770.

 

and as mentioned the 2500 won't work with a LGA1150 socket. use a 4670k.

[fira96]

everything in the list was fine except for the cpu ?

If he's not getting a K CPU no use in gettign a good mobo.

Yep, but I imagine you're paying a price premium for that branded 760 that'd be better spent on a 770.

Do you live near a Micro Center?

hmm ill think about it

[fira96]

Micro Center ? im not sure...

[rcarlos243]

i5 2500k it is NOT COMPATIBLE with LGA 1150 Z87 chipset.

 

i would also swap the 120GB evo for Seagate 600 as it is faster(higher IOPS), has higher endurace(it uses MLC instead of TLC) and is overall a better product.

helps if you read the thread  :rolleyes:

You were given a good build from @Shd0w2 but you could save some money on f.ex. getting air cooling for your CPU or getting 770 instead of 780 which has better performance for dollar ratio. You could get a better PSU but this one has a big discount.

If you can, pick a CPU made in Costa Rica, I heard that ones from there are good for overclocking, but in general I heard bad opinions about overclocking ability of 4670K's.

Motherboard is fine, change the cpu to 4670k if your just gaming, or 4770k if you want extra power for multitasking speed and editing, and if you want cheaper and you're not planning to overclock, buy 4670 or 4770 without the k's

Or a xeon :-)

Oh ok.....

What he meant is the CPU won't work with that motherboard. You can either change the motherboard to a Z77 chipset or change the CPU to a haswell CPU like the 4670k. I would recommend that you do some more research to understand the different types of chipsets and the compatibility of them before you purchase your parts.
