I would go for a better quality 500W PSU. I had one of those blow up in my face when i used it in a system of about 380W. I'd also drop down to an I5, and get and SSD.

CX430? No no no no

[nhatduy1611]

Get a better psu other then that the build look fine.

[KarlFFF]

for a 2-3 monitor setup you might want to consider getting two graphics cards and run SLI/Cross fire

And then I agree with DarrenP: get a PSU with a bit more wattage to have a bit of head room, get and SSD and go for i5 if you're not planning to do computations or rendering (games is more or less a single core process so no benefit from hyper-threading in games)

Then finally if you get a z87/z97 board and k processor give it at least a tiny OC like the i5-4690k can easily take 4.0 ghz - but then you'll need a stronger PSU for sure! (which you do anyway)

[Senzelian]

The Corsair SP120s are pressure optimized fans usually for radiators.

I would recommend either the AF120s for your case if you want to stick to Corsair or be Quiet's Silent Wings 2 or Shadow Wings Mid Speed case fans.

[JoaoPRSousa]

I've heard terrible things about evga psu

The problems some refer to are about the NEXxxx versions, the xxxG2 versions are great.

Have you made this before

can you confirm it works

and any tip i should know if i were build this

I did not build this before, but I'm 100% sure it will work.

Tips? IDK

Do yourself a favor and go with this build, or a build very similar to it. 

[Aniallation]

..bad things? they are rebranded seasonic or superflower psus, which are the best psu on the market.

 

@Aniallation

Not all of them. It's mainly the G2 that are great since they're rebranded Super Flower. Their bronze series are good for the money when others are at regular price, but are made by HEC, and often there are Seasonic-made PSUs by companies such as XFX and Antec come on sale within a similar price range which make them a better buy then the EVGA. As for their gold power supplies only the G2 I would suggest, their G1 series are rebranded FSP Aurum which somehow actually manage to do significantly worse then the Aurum in the most important PSU aspect, which is 12V voltage regulation. Even the Corsair CX whoops the 650/750 G1 in 12V Vreg. 

 

The G2 is an excellent purchase for the money as they struck an amazing deal with Super Flower. However the rest of their PSUs, mostly rebranded HEC and FSP units, aren't fantastic especially when there's other better ones often on sale for the price range, which is why it never hurts to ask the community that keeps up with these things.

EVGA 500b 500w psu, great thing

CX is better then x00B

 

I've heard terrible things about evga psu
