MB : Gigabyte H81M-DS2
Mem : 2 x4GB DDR 1600
GFX : Gigabyte Windforce 3x R9 270X 2GB DDR5
PSU : Corsair 500W
Case : Zalman Z3 Plus
HDD : 500GB

I don't see any problems. Did you have a particular concern about something?

What is the purpose and budget? It looks good. A few things I would try to change if possible.

$10 more gets you a 4570
1TB hard drive is usually the same price or within $10 of most 500GB hard drives
The Gigabyte GA-B85M-D2V is cheaper and better
I would get the EVGA 500B instead of any Corsair 500w
G.Skill Ares is the best deal in a 2X4GB 1600mhz kit

Hi , thanks for the reply. As I am in South Africa pc parts are extremely expensive. I already bought the parts and I am very happy with them can game COD Ghosts at 1080 at around 60fps. I got the HDD for free that is the only reason why I only have one for the moment. On my Invoice for the for the following , if I have to directly convert from South African Rand to US$ it would be roughly $760 for the below components, so you can see South Africa is ridiculously expensive.

GIGABYTE R9 270X 2048MB OVERCLOCKED
CORSAIR CX500 SERIES; 5
2x TRANSCEND 4GB JETRAM DDR3 1600 DESKTOP DIMM
GIGABYTE H81M-DS2 SKT1150 M-ATX
INTEL CORE I5 4440
