Budget Gaming PC

[jNK]

Hello guys, so I am going to build my first gaming PC. For now I will mostly use it for gaming and 3D modelling later on. The games I will play the most are DOTA 2 and CS:GO, also I'll play some newer games from time to time but not much. I've chosen this build because I want a pleasant appearance as well as great performance and very high fps in the games I mentioned above. 

 

MB: Gigabyte B85M-HD3

CPU: CPU Core i5-4460 Quad 3.2GHz

RAM: DIMM 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Kingston CL11

GPU: Gigabyte PCX GeForce GTX960 2GB GDDR5

HDD: HDD 3.5" 1TB Western Digital SATA3 64MB Caviar Blue 7200rpm

PSU: PSU 500W Deepcool DN500 Black 80Plus

Case: ATX Midi Tower Case Deepcool Tesseract SW Black

 

So my question here is should I change something in my build? Can this rig get any more efficient than this (performance per dollar)? I was also considering if it's worth it to get a Gigabyte H97-HD3 motherboard instead of the one I listed in the specs above? Thank you in advance.

i would go with a higher watt PSU and have an 120gb ssd too.

get a r9 280x, it will give you better performance than a 960 will for the same price

It's still a little bit more expensive (~30 euros) since I am getting the GTX960 1x Windforce with only 1 fan

Still get a better gpu. The 960 isn't what you would call great.
