Building my first computer

[njelinek]

GPU - GTX 750 Ti, maybe Radeon R9 270x
CPU - Intel i3 4160
Case - NZXT 220
Ram - No for sure selection yet, probably 4gb
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-B85M microATX
HDD - WD 1TB
Disk Drive -
Power Supply - Not sure, total wattage according to CoolerMaster Power Supply Calculator comes out to 257 watts

I plan to play League of Legends, Counter Strike, and some minimal video, and photo editing. I was wondering if this would be sufficient for what I need. The processor, and GPU are the only things that I'm not completely sure about. Any input would be great!

I would still say 8gb ram is the sweet spot for gaming, and also try if you can to go for an i5, even the cheapest one like a i5 4460 is better than any i3, if you can afford the i5 thats my suggestion

So far everything is looking good. What is your budget?

I am paying for it all while I'm paying for my college, so I am just trying to keep it as low as possible, while keeping the quality
