Hi!

This will be my first DIY build, can you please check if the parts are ok?

Approximate Purchase Date: this week

Budget Range: 650-700$ total

System Usage: Gaming

Parts:
- ASROCK B85M-HDS
not really sure about the motherboard, any tips?

- Intel Core i5 4570 s1150

- FSP RAIDER S ATX 550W 80+ Silver
OR
- FSP Hexa 500W
is it worth to go with the more expansive RAIDER or can i just stick with the cheaper HEXA? (about 14$ difference here) Or would you recommend something else? Maybe less W would be enough?

- Kingston 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3 HyperX Blu CL9 XMP KIT 2x4GB (KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX)
I'm also thinking about buying BEAST instead of BLU, maybe even a 1833Mhz BEAST, (that would be CL9 also, the cost difference is around 14$) but i read that the upgrade isnt worth the extra money since you cant really notice any difference. Also the 1833Mhz might be a problem for the motherboard?

- Cooler Master N300 NSE-300-KKN1 case

- 1TB WD 3.5" Caviar Blue SATAIII 64MB cache winchester (WD10EZEX)

- 120GB Samsung MZ-7TE120BW SSD 840 Series Evo Basic (MZ-7TE120BW)

- LG GH24NSB0 5,25" DVD SATA OEM

Not planning to buy a GPU yet, gonna use the comp with the intel integrated graphix for a few months. When i do buy one i'm planning around 200$, any suggestions?


Do you need to buy OS: No

Location: Hungary

Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, the rest doesnt really matter.

Overclocking: Probably not but i'm open to suggestions.

SLI or Crossfire: Probably not but i'm open to suggestions.

Your Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050 Not buying a new monitor yet, maybe in a few months or so, i'm hoping this rig will be able to run on higher resolutions, not planning multiple monitors or anything super-fancy.

Reason for upgrade: have a gaming laptop but its old, and i'd like a good desktop comp, preferrably one that i wont have to upgrade for the next 4-5 years, but i'm really on a budget...

Thanks for all the help!

(had some problems with posting, if i manage to post this twice, sorry)

Oh, as some additional information, tho its not too important, i'd prefer going with more power-friendly solutions if you have suggestions. Thanks again :)
 
Unless I am missing something, you don't have a graphics card in your build. Won't be much of a gaming computer without a GPU

Edit: Also I think you would have a pretty hard time getting a decent i5 gaming computer together under $700
 
Best I could pull off, especially since I don't know how prices are in your area

This build does not support overclocking or SLI, if you wanted to OC or SLI the mobo/cpu would be more expensive. Also these prices are based off of US prices, it may be possible for you to find a radeon 270x graphics card for less than here in the states. If you can find a 270x for around $200 USD then that would be much better than the gtx 750 ti.

Also no OS or DVD in the build so those are extra.
