[PaladynJasio]

Hi everyone! Im planning on building a gaming pc around 550 pounds. I need help with choosing the parts. I'm not an expert in this ''PC building area'' but i know some stuff. I planned out a build and any advice would be much appreciated. BTW I dont plan overclocking

CPU: Intel Core i5 4460 3.2 Ghz
GPU: MSI Nvidia Gtx 750ti
MOBO: MSI Gaming 3 Intel h97 chipset
RAM:Corsair 8gb DDR3 1600mhz
PSU: EVGA 500w 80plus Bronze
HDD: WD Blue 1tb
OD: LiteOn 24x
Case: Themaltake Versa H23

This PC won't be used for hardcore Ultra gaming but I want to be getting good FPS in games like Far Cry 4 or Battlefield 4 on high settings.

That build seems decent for the price!

Thanks all for the quick response! I found all of your builds worth considering but i just want to ask a question to you. Would it not be better to get a better mobo for this system?
And BTW I think I'm gonna go with an r9 280 or 280x instead of the GTX 750ti.

Thanks

That mob is fine, unless you have high end headphones or anything like that, if you want a better mobo, ur gonna have to save up a little more for your build

Ok thanks for the reply.
