Building a pc

[King Akash]

hi

I'm building a pc with these parts:

>MSI Z77A-G45
>Intel i3 3220 3.3GHz 3Mb
>8Gb Corsair vengeance Pro Red
>3.5" 500Gb Hitachi 16Mb Sata 3
>Corsair Carbide Series 500R
>Corsair Enthusiasts Modular TX750M
>Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo
>LG DVD Writer 24X Double Layer

So, i want to know your opinion on this. I'll be using this pc mostly to watch movies online, surfing the net and light gaming. Also, is the processor too outdated or is it okay for my needs??

I will buy a graphics card later on.

Thanks.

are you planning to add a gpu? if not, opt for a 300W as your system will barely scratch 100W. also the i3 3220 has a locked multiplier, so you won't need an aftermarket cooler or a z77 motherboard. instead, use the boxed heatsink that comes with the CPU and a B75 or H77 series motherboard. if you want to do some light gaming go for the r7 250/5 or gtx 640/650

Its the first time i'm building a pc. I will add a GPU but not now maybe in 6 months time. I want a pc that will still be quite usable in the next 3 or 4 years. I intend to upgrade it with time.

Also is MSI Z77A-G45 a good motherboard?
And do i need an aftermarket cpu cooler if i'm not going to overclock?

the msi z77a-g45 is a good motherboard and the stock cooler should do fine if you're not overclocking. For light gaming, you're looking at a amd 7770/50 or a gtx 650 (ti or non ti) of which you could easily get by with a 400W psu
