Hello all.
I am currently looking for a pc which is going to be used mainly for gaming (WoW, LoL).
Questions:
1. Is this pc good in general? (Is there anything to change?)
2. For gaming, is this pc good/solid? Or should I upgrare anything?

Here are the components:
CPU: Intel i5 4460 3.2Ghz Soc. 1150
Motherboard: H81M, SATA, USB3.0, Soc. 1150
Graphics card: ATI R9 270 , 2048MB GDDR5
Memory: 8GB DDRIII
Hard Drive: HDD 500GB , 7200rpm Hard Disk # 2: Intel SSD 120GB
Case: PHOENIX
Optical Drive: DVD RW , Dual Layer SATA
Power supply: Fractal 450W Modular 80+
Sound: 7.1 channel audio
Other: PCI-Express, SATA, PCI, LAN 10 / 100MB, USB3.0, SATA3.0

Living in croatia atm, if the info is a bonus 😉

For the motherboard would i go for something like these,

your choice still has only two ram slots which are a limit for an upgrade.
For a psu still not what i would recommend.None of the 520/550watt i already gave as options available? Maybe a site you look at? (psu tab+budget for psu)
You like that case? I see it comes without fans so you would have to buy some for a bit of airflow.
For a screen would i probably go for this one;"AOC LED 23.6" E2461FWH".

Thank you for the answer, the pc you put together seems great, however it is also almost 700 pounds and not euros, so it is too expensive.
Would also like your opinion on the PC i already found, is the build fine or do i need to fine adjust some stuff, not change the whole thing :). Thanks in advance
 
Try to make the ram 2x4gb.
The psu is not something i would choose.Can you get an antec neo eco there like the 520watt? Or xfx ts 550watt?! The corsair cs 450/550watt maybe? Cooler master GM G550M/G450M?
I also would look at a B85 motherboard with four ram slots for an upgrade path or a H97 motherboard if possible.
 


Thanks for the suggestions!

Went and found a few new upgrades, is this a better build? Opinion is appreciated ! :)

Great build, Ram seems a bit over the edge, aswell, more looking for comments on the posted build with maybe few changes if absolutely needed :) Thanks though !
