Tips on rig

[Shurima]

Hey guys, I am a first time builder and I was wondering if this was a good psu for this rig.

Also any thoughts/ suggestions on the parts of the rig?

I play low intensive games like League of Legends with the occasional games like Skyrim, so I do not need anything too beefy.

 

psu: Corsair CX Series 500 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze 

case :Nzxt Phantom 410 ssd: samsung 850 evo 250gb

Hard drive: WD Blue 1TB Desktop 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm 

cpu: Intel Core i5-4590 gpu: MSI GTX 960 2G

Mother Board: MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-G45 

ram: Corsair Vengeance Pro Series Red 8GB (2x4GB)

Get a single stick of 8gb ram just in case for the future.

You are spending a lot on your motherboard and processor, get something cheaper to get a better GPU.

Unless you plan on overclocking later with a new CPU, the Z97 board isn't needed. I would try to cram a 970 into your budget since it's seriously a god-tier card for the money. Also, don't forget to follow your topics

I do not know much sorry, can you give me a recommendation for a cheap good mother board? My budget also is around $800 - $900.  Also should I really get a 970? I won't really use the 4gbs, I probably will only use at most 2gb's since I don't need that good of a gpu.

Should I also change the cpu to a intel i5 4690 if I don't intend to overclock?
