Are there any changes that need to be made to this pc: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/L3Pyzy im sorta on a budget so i cant fit an ssd into the build. Im going for a 1080p gaming rig.

What is your budget then? Asusming you're just gaming too?

 

If you're not looking to CF in the future then you can go down to a good 600/650W PSU without needing to care about things. Also you can probably go for a cheaper motherboard if you want - and you aren't getting Windows 10 for free?

Sig under construction.

Here you go. You don't need a 4690 unless you wanted a 4690K, so I changed it to a 4460, as a couple 100mhz doesn't change much in performance. Also, 750W is overkill, 600W can handle that. Changed the case to a 100R, it's cheaper and I like it better imo.

Forgot to add, the GPU is overkill, but if you're going to upgrade to 1440p or 1080p 144hz then you could keep it. Otherwise go for a 380

This Xeon deal is like an I7 3.4 boost clock 3.8 http://ark.intel.com/nl/products/80910/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1231-v3-8M-Cache-3_40-GHz notthing much for gamers but much better than I5

 

And like we all told, really? no SSD?

Provided you get an SSD soon, it's an awesome build that should last a couple of years and run all of the games out there.
