well after browsing this wonderfull forum and posting questions i have desided to upgrade my PC, its not that good and i need MORE POWER! :P well heres all the things:

 

 

processor: Intel Core i5 4460 3,2GHz Socket 1150 Box

motherboard:Asus Z87-A

grafics card: Gigabyte G1 GTX 970

 

thats what im going to buy but here is the other stuff

 

monitors: 1x1080p monitor with HDMI in and 1x1280x1024 DVI fuled one. planing on expanding to 2 or 3 of the 1080p monitors but thats far off.

periferals: i have evrything i need but if anyone knows of a cheep mechanical keyboard that isnt shit id like to know. :)

ssd: some 60GB ssd for my system files thats now lost in the case somewere, i actiualy cant find it... :/

hdd: i think its a WD or seagate 1TB drive and its nice and fast dont need anything to replace it.

case: a Zalman Z-machine GT1000 in red and black(wanted blue and titanium but it was out of stock..)

CPU cooler: arctic cooling alpine V2 or something, cant remember but its quite good, not perfect but beter then stock.

RAM: 1x8GB of DDR3 memoey i dont know the clockspeed of...

 

i have a budget of around 750€ as a absolute MAX and the reson im doing an upgrade is that my curent rig isnt really capable of running things like beam.NG drive verry smothly and if you hadent guessed this is a gaming PC, i mainly play CS:GO and beam.NG drive but i also do some fafing about in unity so i feel i need something beter than an FX-6300 processor and a GTX 750 TI :P thanks for any help

 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

I don't really think any critiquing is needed here! All three parts you picked are really good for the price point. And as long as you don't plan on overclocking, I think you are good! 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

You can change the mobo for a Z97 chipset. It might run better and be more stable.

4460 was introduced with hashwell refresh lineup and it's predecessor was 4440.

Z97 and H97 came out with hashwell refresh and it was an update over Z87 and H87 from older hashwell processors.

It intends to work better and chipset is made to withstand higher frequencies and higher load that hashwell refresh processors provide. You can get higher overclocks if you decide to do it when your computer starts ageing or want MOAR POWWA. They both work but Z97 was designed for it and works better.
