Hello PC Gamers and Experts. My budget is $500-$550 im trying to build this pc but I want to know is this a good build ? My friend is going to build the PC and he is going to included a Windows 7 OS and I have a old pc case that has a few pc parts in them that I will put into the new pc. I don't know that much about computer parts, I'm from the console platform now moving to pc. I also have a few questions I'm looking at the PC power supply on eBay its a EVGA 430w Plus 80, the 430w is that how much power my pc will consume 430watts ? Also could all these parts fit into my PC case I will add the case I have in a link.

PC Parts:
CPU: Intel i5 4590 Quad Core Haswell 3.3 GHz
Motherboard: Could anyone recommend a $50-$70 motherboard that would be compatible with the CPU.
Storage: Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache
Power Supply: EVGA 430w 80 PLUS
GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 960 http://www.ebay.com/itm/321694875004
Case: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=compaq%20presario%20cq5320f&qs=n&form=QBIR&pq=compaq%20presario%20cq5320f&sc=8-22&sp=-1&sk=&id=61C0DD735EF7E18CB18CD8324F6352E30F046544&selectedIndex=0#view=detail&id=61C0DD735EF7E18CB18CD8324F6352E30F046544&selectedIndex=0

First of all, there are a few things to consider. You shouldn't be choosing your PSU (Power Supply) until you've decided the other electronic parts of the PC, mainly the GPU (Graphics Card), as this is the most electronically intensive part of your build. I also need to do a bit more research, but I would most likely suggest a different case, as this one doesn't appear to have openings that would compliment good ventilation, which is important in a gaming PC.
 


for a motherboard i found an asrock for $72

Or you can buy this (same company) for $60 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157547&cm_re=intel_motherboard-_-13-157-547-_-Product

both specs are pretty nice for what you want,

Your GPU seems good i just dont understand why u want all of those display ports. and you should be okay with your power supply

Ram: 8GB for $58 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231488

I've assembled a basic set-up. The parts that you listed are included, that's why the price is so high. I changed the case, just FYI.

Without the parts that you will be including, the price will be about $289. This does [[[NOT include any peripherals]]] or other things. For instance, [[mouse, keyboard, wifi cards, headphones, MONITORS, CASE FANS]], etc. If you would like assistance in choosing some of those things, I'd be glad to help. If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know.

[UPDATE] Here is an alternative link, NOT including any items you have listed that you will be including yourself. Note that this still does not include any peripherals or expansion/networking cards, but DOES include an alternative case.
