Building my new system. Please advise!

[benzi118]

Greeting!

My budget is around £700 and wanting to build a gaming PC(not extreme).

Please see the components below, and feel free to leave your suggestion.

Processor
Intel Core i5-4570 Quad Core Haswell 3.2Ghz CPU
Max Turbo Frequency 3.6Ghz
Cache: 6MB

Optical Drive
DVDRW

Hard Drive
2TB SATA HDD (Will require a SDD as well)

Graphics
2GB nVidia GTX760 Graphics Card

Audio
High Definition Audio, 5.1 channel

Power Supply
500 watts

I have no information on the Motherboard because it's found on Ebuyer the whole system is £641.52.

Please feel free do leave comments and let me know whether my decision is correct or there's an alternative. Many thanks!

It looks good to me, although you should phone in and confirm the brand and model of that psu. And you could probably build it cheaper yourself, if you are capable of doing it, of course

But I think I could get a better graphics card, any recommendation? Thanks

Your next best bet would probably be an amd radeon r9 280x, 7970 or gtx 770 as any of those would be faster, but more expensive

You can get better parts if you build it yourself. How does this one look?
