I am building my first gaming pc and have a budget of $950. I came up with this and was wondering what you all think. I need a new monitor and OS.
CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 PRO3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB Dual-X Video Card
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: Rosewill Capstone 650W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Monitor: Asus VS239H-P 23.0" Monitor
Wireless network adapter: Rosewill RNX-N180UBE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wi-Fi Adapter
I plan on playing a little bit of everything, but the focus right now is getting my foot in the door. I just want to be able to run any game. Building a PC that has good potential for upgrades down the road is more important to me.
