PC build help?

Hi guys i really need a help for a PC build. I've actually never done it and don't have time for research.

 

Name (Price USD)

MSI 85-G41 99.96

Intel Core i5 4460 254.24

ASUS GeForce 750Ti 2GB DDR5 192.87

G.SKILL DDR3series 16GB  1333MHz 108.61

CoolerMasterElite 430 51.37

PS 500W, COOLERMASTER B500 57.06

WESTERN DIGITAL Blue, WD10EZEX 71.34

SSD 120.0 GB KINGSTON SSDNow V300 61.34

 

That is config what i found in my budget (approx 900$) and this are prices in Croatia so i already know that i can save some bucks if i buy online but that is not an option right now. I just want to know if this is decent configuration for study (mostly virtualization and network simulation) or someone have better suggestions (get in mind that in Croatia prices are much higher for example i5 4460 is about 190$ as i saw in Linus video, but here is 254$. That is about 30% higher price for all components).

 

I need graphic card only for LoL and CS-GO (Both can be run in low - mid settings, idc at all cause its only for relaxing), and maybe screen capture for some tutorials. I am even thinking about going for really cheap card like ASUS AMD Radeon R7 250 1GB DDR5 (107.24$) so i can buy 240 GB SSD SSD 240.0 GB CORSAIR Force LS (105$). Also that would left me about 40$ for new keyboard.

 

Right now i have HP ProBook 4330s 4 years old and everything i need is working on it but it's getting too hot and proc is under 40%-70% load when i power up 3 virtual machines, or GNS3 with 10 routers, and that wouldn't be a problem but sometimes i study for 6-7-8 hours and i think i will kill my laptop pretty soon (i am even wondering how it survived this semester xD). I don't think i would have problems on this config, but i would like to get suggestions from someone who know why is something better or not :).

 

PS. Admins sorry if i posted this in wrong sub.

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Solitaire.

Don't you just love it when someone doesn't read the thread?

i read the thread, it is just useful for compilation and compatibility checks

I would recommend getting only 8gb of ram and spending a bit more on GPU, i know you are not looking for gpu power but just because you couldnt play triple A games before doesnt mean you shouldn't now 

Main PC |CPU - i7-6700k|GPU - R9 290x tri-x 4gb|RAM - 16gb ddr4|MOBO - MSI z170 - A PRO|HDD - WD 1TB/240gb Sandisk |PSU - 700w Raidmax

Laptop |CPU - i7 4720hq|GPU - 960m 2gb|Ram - 8gb 2x4|Model - y50-70 Touch|SSD - 240gb Patriot drive|Display - 1920x1080 IPS touch

I have 8 gb now, but my virtual machines need 2gb, and i need run up to 4 simultaneously which is not possible with 8 gigs, even for 3 i needed to lower ram on vm's on about 1.5 GB. That's why i need at least 16 (2*8) and 2 free slots so i can add up more next year.

Ty i've already knew about this site, but this doesn't help me at all. . I can read specification, and compatibility, i need someone with real life experience who already done this kind of build, if i'm making gaming build it would be pretty easy xD.
