First time building a pc

ArneD
 
Can anyone help me? I'll be building a pc for the first time and I got these components that I'm planning on buying. Do you think this will be enough to play AAA games (like gta V and fallout 4) at 60fps on 1080p? Anything I should change to improve this build?

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock B85M Pro4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Crucial BX100 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 380 4GB Nitro Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Core 2300 ATX Mid Tower Case 
Power Supply: Antec VPF Series - 450W
Total: € 782,50
 
Someone told me I might want to get an AMD FX 6300 and throw in a Hyper evo 212 instead of an i5 to make it "future proof" , any comments?
 
EDIT: Please be specific when suggesting compontents as I'm quite a noob..

Get a H97 board so you don't run the risk of having to update your BIOS. Also, get maybe a better power supply like a EVGA GS and G2 or an XFX TS or one of their modular models. And allocate less of the budget to the case.

i5 4460 >>>>>> FX 6300
The 6300 is a long dead CPU since it's no longer powerful enough for games.

Get a G2 or GS for the PSU - G1 and B1 are bad usually.

EDIT: Get 120GB SSD and use the cash on a H97 board if you ask me.

Good build I wouldn't change it although you might want to go for a XFX TS instead of that PSU and that person who said that was either trolling or really doesn't know what he's saying

 Which board did you have in mind? Also what's the point of getting another psu and what are the differences? Case suggestions are always welcome as wel.

EVGA B1 and G1 are poor quality - usually have chinese capacitors, made by either FPS or Compucase, forgot which and overall are not recommended. G2 and GS are a lot better. Currently, the Antec High Current Gamer 620m should also be on sale for cheap.

You want a good PSU with a gaming machine to avoid issues and possible it dying.

Check the PSU whitelist in my sig for a few good ones.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

EVGA 500w?

Nope, not on there AFAIK and I definitely wouldn't put it in a system with an R9 380

Isn't that a lot of Watts? the 620m is 40 euros more expensive though...

About the H97 board, what should I pick.. my current one is 68.30 euros

A low teir though. I recommend this list and go for at least a tier 2 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Asrock H97m. Cheapest will do. @don_svetlio explained that and the Cooler master Silencio 352 is quite good from what i've heard or the Fractal Design 1300 depending on your budget.

Cheapest H97 board you can find - doesn't matter

if the 520m is cheaper get that.

Is it good now? If I can cut back on the case that would be even better, any good, cheap cases?

Hah - the only thing like that would be the "like" system. But don't feel obliged, I just did what any other member would do :)
