New build plans

[MeeperSeven]

So, I want to build a decent gaming desktop. I want to know if this would be decent for playing most modern games at medium to high settings in 720p. I don't want to go over $650, but I think I might have to for what I'm wanting.

Cpu: i5 4460

Gpu: r7 260x

Ram: 8gb (not sure what brand but I'd like something cheap and good quality)

OS: Windows 8 (may start off with Linux

Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 1tb

Case: (not sure, but I'd like it to be decently cheap and standard atx, suggestions?)

Mobo: H81, H87 or Z87

Psu: 500w (not sure what brand, maybe Cosair? Suggestions?)

Disc drive: standard 24x dvd drive

Fans: undecided

What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Dylan

best bet around 650, since you say you might start off liunux then i added no os to the build

If you're playing on 720p with this system you're going to get ultra for sure

 

Only downside is it dosent have usb 3.0

 

EDIT: woopsee thats Australian so it will be a bunch cheaper, you could upgrade the mobo and gpu maybe
