H97 mobo

[MistSaint]

Basically I want to build a new PC after long 7 years . 

 

Motherboard: H97 Gigabyte GA-H97-HD3

CPU: Intel i5-4690

Graphics card: GeForce GTX960 MSI 2GB GDDR5 / Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X Tri-X (haven't decided on that yet)

HDD: HDD SATA3 7200 1TB Toshiba

RAM: DDR3 4GB 1600MHz Kingston HyperX Savage CL9 x2

PSU: 500W SilverStone SST-ST50F

 

 

So the reason why I put this here is that someone actually told me to not go for anything below H97. Since in my country this H97 is almost the double price of ASUS B85M-G I was wondering what would I actually lose if I went with Asus mobo. Also when I used cooler master calculator it displayed 443W so after reading a review on hardware secrets and also johhny guru or something like that I found this cheap, but still good PSU and was wondering is it ok for this build? Advices are welcomed, but keep in mind this build in my country is around US$1050 so I don't have a lot of room for upgrades.

PSU is fine, and going back a generation on the board might present some issues, since you might have to update the BIOS in order to use that CPU, which may be a problem if you don't have a Haswell CPU laying around.
