Asus 660ti 2gb (GPU)

Nice job man! I like how you squeezed an i5 in for that budget. What is it for? Gaming or...?

Ah, I know I'm going to sound sh*tty for saying this since you already built it but, personally I would have gone for an i3-6300/6100 or an i5-6500 and a GTX 960 or an R9 380. And maybe a better PSU.

But I'm sure an i5-5400 and a 660ti are capable of decent 1080p 30fps :) your first upgrade should be that graphics card though!
