First of all, I'm from Mexico, so I can't buy in places like newegg or the like, I'm limited to Amazon.
I'm building my first computer, and have done some research but still not sure if I'm picking the correct parts, I would really appreciate some feedback on what could I change or if my approach is completely wrong. My intention is to play at 1080p only, I could afford to spend something around 100-150 dollars more to make room for changes.

 

This is what I have planned to buy:

 

Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 960

CPU: Intel i3-4150

Power Supply: CoolerMaster Elite V2 550 W

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-H

RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz

 

Any help would be immensely appreciated  :)

id go for a 1 8gb stick of ram and a r9 280x, because the only time I use more then 8gb of ram is when i have 30 tabs of chrome, and start GTA V, but even goes under 8 well the game is running(with chrome and spotify still on in the back ground).

Should get a 380 if it's around the same price, it has a bit more performance and it potentially has better DX12 support

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
