You don't need a z87 board if you don't have a K cpu so get a b85 board (something like a Gigabyte G1.Sniper B5) and swap the i3 for a i5 4440 or even a 4570

For the psu a 500w will be fine.

@dawidzjaja you cant run in max settings 1080p with that budget

Why are you getting a z87 mobo with a non OC cpu (i would get an amd cpu with that budget)

You dont need a 600W PSU something like 500 is plenty

I agree!

 

BUT: With the Z87 board, he will have better upgrade possibilities in the future: i5/i7 unlocked. Although, in case that is not the plan, go with something cheaper!
