HELP im building my own gaming machine!!

[Sidni Tan]

It's my first time to build my own gaming PC. Any suggestions please? will this machine enable me to play HD games such as Resident evil, the sims 3/4, need for speed, farcry on high resolution (720p, 1080p if possible) smoothly?

motherboard: MSI B85M GAMING
Processor: 3.3 - 3.7GHz Intel Core i5-4590 6M Cache
video card: ASUS GeForce GTX 750TI-OC 2GB 128BIT DDR5
Memory: 2x4GB KINGSTON HYPERX BLUE 1600MHZ
hard disk: 1 TB Blue 3.5” SATA WD10EZEX
power supply: antec vp550p 550w

am i still lacking some parts? any incompatibility? is it sufficient enough? or if it is more than enough, what can you suggest to replace to make it more cheaper? because my budget is not that high.

budget for mobo: $75-$90
budget for PSU: $50-$65
budget for processor: $185-$195
my video card would be fixed gtx 750ti

This would be a better option in my opinion.

Good CPU value.
Good quality mobo.
Excellent quality PSU no need for more wattage with this kind of a system. You will be able to run a GTX 970-980 if you want later on.

with a power supply your better off with a gaming pc to over size it then have it under sized if you at some point replace the gpu with a higher end unit.

motherboard: MSI B85M GAMING
the b chipset may not run all of the newer intel cpu without a bios update. also the b chipset is the most cutdown chipset from intel.
do you need a dvd to install any games??? if not you need to make a usb windows installer. you have to download window iso image and use the windows iso to usb tool.
if you can for the same or few dollars more look for 1866 or faster ram. newer cpu run better on faster ram.

okay so i'd go for asrock h97 anniversary atx lga1150. yes i'll also buy an optical driver for me to install games. but what is the difference between asrock h97m anniversary to asrock h97 anniversary? will it affect my cpu or my video card? or hard disk? or RAM?

sorry for asking lame questions. this is my first time to build my own.

The M means micro atx. I do not like small form mobos if you can help it. The larger ones perform better in most cases.
