Built without a GPU ( for now )

[Tiber1337]

So my friends desperately needs a budget gaming PC cuz he doesen't have one, gaming isn't an urgent but he needs one for daily use at the moment,  however.

 

I told him to wait for the gtx 960 or whatever AMD will have to offer as we're close to the releases , so we decided to build a PC and use the integrated gpu from the I5 for now.

 

I want your opinions if this build will work as I'm not a pro builder, also he can't spend much more on components than these ones already cost. (maybe 20 bucks)

 

So tell me what should I change in this build if there is anything to change.

 

CPU : Intel Core i5 4590 3.3GHz box

MB : GIGABYTE GA-B85M-D2V

RAM: Corsair Value Select 8GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9

Case: Segotep SG-W01

PSU : Segotep Raynor Power 550W

HDD: Seagate Desktop HDD 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA-III

 

Note that in Romania the components are more expensive and that's he can't really afford always go for best quality ones.

 

thanks

Mobo need bios update... unless you have a first gen haswell buy another board (H97) http://www.pcgarage.ro/placi-de-baza/msi/h97m-e35/

The case is not bad, but change that PSU if you aim to get a GPU in the future.

hmm if its been sitting in stock at the retailer for a while it might have an older bios that doesnt support it. It might support it but i wouldnt bet on it.

So then can you suggest a similar priced MOBO with good bios?

look for 1600Mhz ram for couple more fps in games, can usually find it for same price as 1333.
