This if my first time posting here, so I hope this shows up right.

This is what I currently have in mind. - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XMxWLk
I would like to try and stay around the $800 range.
I do not plan on overclocking at all.

Is this build good enough for current games like The Witcher 3 at 60 fps? It doesn't have to be maxed out graphics.

Is that a good power supply? Will there be any problems with the length of the cables for that case?

The only site I have bought from is Newegg. How are the other sites like Superbiiz, Outlet Pc, and Micro Center when it comes things like customer service and returns if I get a dead part?

Made some small changes that I think will help. The H97 board gives you a bit more versatility for a few reasons: one if you wish to upgrade to I7 for any reason you can with this board; secondly, more RAM slots which can be extremely useful if your finding the need for more RAM. I added in a SSD which will help with load times. The R9 280x is still a great GPU and will handle most games on medium-high settings. :)
 



Sorry for the late reply, but I just wanted to say thanks for improving the build.
 


No worries, glad I was able to find you a solution.
