uhm ok. welcome to the forum. heres somethings to work on in this build

 

1. that psu is absolute ASS do not get it. get an xfx 550w

2. that gpu is UNDER POWERED AS HELL for gaming, so i recommend you get a cheaper motherboard and not get an SSD and get something like an r9 380 

[Castdeath97]

I'm assuming you are going to use this for gaming:

 

1-Sense you are getting a locked processor don't get a Z97 board you don't need it's features.

2-You are spending a lot on the CPU and very little in the GPU, you should always get a more expensive GPU than your CPU for gaming.

3-You don't need 600W, get a 500W unit.

[Stardar1]

that PSU is a fire hazard

 

the GTX 750ti is underpowered for gaming, but for other things it works just fine

 

at that budget, dont get an SSD, that can be added later

 

why Z97 on a locked CPU?

[Darth-Marius]

if dont you want your tower to explode, dont get a cx psu, get a xfx or  seasonic , and z97 mobos arent worth it if you have a locked cpu, and cut corners to get a better gpu

[Stardar1]

also, please, for the love of god

 

USE PCPARTPICKER

[Longshot]

Corsair make terrible PSUs, get something from E V G A or Seasonic

im kinda clueless on what is good and bad WHOOPS 

[Ricepotato]

well im from singapore so the components are crazy expensive. 

[Stardar1]

its ok, but we need to know your budget, what the build is used for and the currency you use (country also helps)

[Stardar1]

uhhh, PCPartPicker doesnt have Singapore...

[Ricepotato]

my budget would be roughly 1200-1300 SGD . i got the corsair carbide spec03 case from a friend

[Ricepotato]

it should cost around 950 USD i suppose

why Z97 on a locked CPU?

You Guys just have to have to hogh of expectations.. The 750Ti runs Shadow of Mordor medium settings 60+FPS

H1Z1 medium-high settings 50-90FPS and rarely drops below 60, only when more then 16 zombies are in a small area.

Care to explain to the fellow why the CX is bad? This is a serious problem with this forumn. Everyone tells everyone to get something over a another product but provides NO explanation on WHY that product is so bad.

[DarkBlade2117]

Alright, any specfic color scheme you would like? $950 about?

believe me, i know about the 750ti, but outside of power efficiency there isnt much of a reason to buy it anymore

 

CX has a reputation involving literal flames

[Ricepotato]

i was thinking of red

[Stardar1]

(already has spec-03, so we assume red)

there have been reports of them catching fire. and yes the 750 ti is a good BUDGET gpu but its really just a waste of money to get it with an i5

how about a GTX960

[DarkBlade2117]

Ok Give me a few minutes.

Power efficiency? It uses like 80ws if that.

It Is a great little card, I would get a 360 over it but some people use it to give their prebuilts with no PCIe connectors a little life.

[Mohenjo]

how about a GTX960

the r9 380 performs better for the same price

[DarkBlade2117]

Reports... Of fire... No.

Has a low ambient temperature and uses bad capacitor. Not made for high end machines and big loads. For this machine, the exact parts he chose it would be fine. For what he can really get for his budget, no not worth it.
