Processor: Intel Core i5 4690K

 

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 950 DirectX 12 2GD5T OC 2GB

 

RAM: HyperX Savage 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 

 

Storage: Wester Digital Blue 1 TB HDD 7200 RMP

 

Power Supply: Rosewill RD 600-M-Series 600 Watt Modular ATX, 12V SLI and Crossfire Ready

 

Case: Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid Tower Case CC-9011075-WW

 What is the budget because I don't see a dollar value.

Use pcpartpicker please

and get a 4460 and upgrade the gpu imo

Ditch the 4690k if all that leaves you room for is a 950. In a gaming PC the graphics card should be a priority over the CPU.

[Matt_Twinkletoes]

 

I would try and push the budget for a better graphics card like a r9 380

[Jacktastic-Mofo]

It will work but if you're looking to game you'd want to get a lesser CPU and a better GPU. Such as an i5-4460 and a GTX 960 / R9 380.

[Vespid]

Looks pretty good but I wouldn't go for the rosewill power supply, they have a pretty bad reputation overall. 

[elBarto]

the GPU cheaper than the gpu better put the 4460 or the 4590 and a 380

[elBarto]

pcpp link?

Go 4460+h81/b85 mobo+R9 3804gb+ Seasonic S12II 520W or XFX TS 550W PSU

Thanks guys. my second option did have a 4460 with a gtx 960, but i needed a bit more convincing. 

 

As for the psu, ill probably switch to a corsair or evga power supply

Here go with 380X over 960.

Yeah, go with a 380

[jr004710]

seems like the 380 is very popular.

 

Question. Why do most suggest a SSD and HDD? cant just one big SDD or one big HDD be enough?

SSD+HDD is the best budget to performance mix. (120GB SSD and a 1 TB HDD. Getting a 480GB for 120 isn't that bad either)

Budget, a large enough SSD would be far too expensive for most of us.
