I'm looking to build my first PC with the primary use of gaming. The price range I'm looking for is between 600-900 before graphics and Operating system. I do want it to be a powerful machine. Here is some of the parts I was thinking about for this PC. Also I don't plan on over clocking the machine.

Processor: Intel i5-4670K Processor
Mother Board: Asus B85-Plus
Memory: G-Skill Rip Jaw 8gb 1333(probably upgrade to more later)
Hard-Drive: 1tb WD 7200rpm Sata III( may want to upgrade to solid state in the future)
Optical Drive: An Old DVD-RW drive I already own
Operating System: Windows 7 64bit home edition(already own)
Power Supply: ?????
Graphic Card: I already own a Graphics Card that Borders Recomended and Required settings for most games but wanting to upgrade to something much more powerful later on.

So really I just wanted to hear some opinions on this build and what people think. I've never really dealt with power supplies before so I was wonder what kinda of wattage would be needed to run this. Also I'm unsure if the mother board I chose will be sufficient enough or if I should by something more expensive.

My Current Computer seriously lacks processing power and was a good price but had very little future proofing when I bought it 2 years ago.

Also If anyone has anything to add that I maybe be overlooking that would be appreciated.
 
I'd look at Seasonic, nice rig so a good PSU called for around 5-550 watts, would also consider a minimum of 1600 DRAM as that's native to the Haswell CPUs, would also look to a better mobo if you can or plan to upgrade in the future,
 
if your not planning to overclock i would go with the non k version of the 4670, may save you a bit towards the graphics card. also, would decide on psu after gpu, just so you know how many, if any, pci-6 you might need, you can always buy extensions later, but its just nice to already have all the connectors you need on the psu.
 


ok yeah i was unsure if i should go for 1333 ram or 1600 there roughly the same price so that should change anything to much.

I wasn't sure what range I should be looking for in a motherboard, originally I was going to get mother board in the 300$ price range but I'm not planning on over clock so I thought I could get away with about 80$-100$.

Yeah maybe ill look into GPU so at least I have an idea what I want i'll also check out the non k version.
