what gpu do you recommend?

 

If you are only gaming drop the CPU to an i3 4130 and get a GTX 770 shouldnt effect your budget too much if you do that

 

also you could change to an i5 4440 and get a cheaper motherboard if you dont need to OC, also a lower wattage PSU and have more the money for a better GPU too

8320 and 770 is much better.

Yes and no, means he could get an i3 for now and upgrade later 

 

Or Get a cheap H81 motherboard and a normal i5 like a 4440, - it wont be that much slower than a 4670k

 

Also do you need to have wifi? if not drop it

I quite like it.

 

one little change I'd make is an internal WiFi card like the TP Link TL-WN881ND

 

plus, if you wish to crank the settings, you could go up to a GTX 760. I wouldn't skimp on the processor like was recommended by other people above in this topic

 

although to be honest, if your budget doesn't allow for it, you are just fine and it will look really great.

Compatible with Windows 95
