So my brother needs a new pc. He needs the cpu power for graphics design and stuff like that. He rarely plays games, and when he does he only plays age of empires and roller coaster tycoon. 

I am in Hungary so i can't use pcpartpicker. His budget is 110000 HUF or around 525 dollars. I get the parts from this ( http://www.pcx.hu/ ) website usually

Parts:

cpu:Intel core i5 4440.

Case:Cooler Master n200

mono:Gigabyte b85m-d3v

memory: 4GB kingston hyper x. Plan to upgrade to 8GB

storage: WD caviar blue 1TB

psu: corsair cx430

And maybe a discreet graphics card in the future. but that is out of the question now.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Intel core I5 4460, Gigabyte H97M-HD3, Gigabyte gtx 760, 8 GB corsair value ram, Thermaltake core v21, Thermaltake Smart 630W PSU

Alcatel OneTouch D5... IT WORKS!!

Not really...

 

@Abel225 You'll need a discrete graphics card for acceleration if you're doing any serious graphics design. 

What programs are being used?

He is studying in a university. He won't use graphics design programs for now. He'll use autocad civil3d. and more autocad software. So the videocard can wait for atleast a year.

In that case, your current plan looks fine. I'd look into getting a cheaper mobo--literally any 1150 mobo would do.
