Good $930 build?

[Tarek1099]

My goal is to keep this under $940. No OC or SLI in the future. No 4k gaming or movies. Medium gaming, light video and photo editing. I hope this lasts 4 years or so before I need an upgrade. Thanks

This is as good as it gets if you don't need a hard drive.

I don't think I'll need a hard drive early on. Plus if I do it's not too hard to install one.

Sweet.

I recommend a 1TB drive for mass storage, only other thing I'd do would be to lower the PSU to 500W since you're not OCing or SLIing (PRETEND THOSE ARE WORDS) so you're not overpaying

Get the 4690?

I figured I'd save some money since I won't need a ton of storage. (If I do, it's not very expensive and can be added fairly easily.) I chose a 620W mostly in part because my dad doesn't want to take the risk of running out of power in case any part draws a crazy amount of power than normal. (I don't really want to have to get in a debate over this, especially since he used to build PC's as a living in the early 2000s).
