Is this a good build?

[Lemuel710]

Hi guys so I decided to build a gaming pc and I found all my parts on the memory express site.
Can you guys tell me if this a good enough for the new games such as Far Cry 4, AC Unity, GTA 5 on high to ultra?
Here are the specs:
-Intel i5- 4590 3.3 GHz
-MSI Z87-G43 Motherboard
-Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4gb DDR3 Memory
-MSI N770 Gaming Geforce GTX 770 2gb VRAM
-EVGA 600 Watt PSU (Bronze)

Will I be fine without overclocking? And can anyone tell me if I need to buy fans for cooling or if I'll be fine without one? Oh and can you guys suggest a good case for this build? Preferably cheap

you will be fine without overclocking and yes at 1080P you can play all those games on ultra.

Looking at your GPU, I think you need 650w PSU for safe side. Cooler Master K380 would be a good case, Cooler Master HAF 912 too. Both are Mid-Towers.
Those cabinets already 4 case fans, which would be quite enough for cooling and ventilation. You can always add higher RPM fans. Anything above 1400rpm. If you are not sensitive to sound, 2200RPM are great solution.
A quick tip: Make the majority of the case fans to Intake, and just one fan for exhaust.

I'm not sure what your budget is, but this is a pretty solid build. You'll be able to run pretty much every current game at ultra or high, at the minimum. One thing that concerns me is that you have an i5-4590 which runs on a Z97 chipset, not the Z87 which you have listed. To my knowledge, all this would require is a BIOS update. If you want to avoid the hassle of updating your BIOS, downgrade your processor to a 4570 (there's not much difference between the 70 and the 90, and you'll save a few dollars). Another option is to upgrade your motherboard to a Z97 or H97 chipset.

On the topic of processors - if you can afford it, I think it's worth the extra $20 or so to get a 4670 (or 4690) over a 4570/90. The performance boost is noticeable, and I think you'll be satisfied with the investment.

I would also reexamine your power supply. Bronze is a very low efficiency. Over the course of a few months, a silver or gold-rated power supply will actually save you money. EVGA, Seasonic, and Corsair are trustworthy brands for power supplies.

If you're looking to cut costs, you'll still get remarkable performance with a GTX 760.

You will be just fine without overclocking, and there's no need to upgrade from stock fans.

Depending on your budget, I would recommend the following cases:
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-cc9011053ww $54.99 (Newegg)
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-case-armorevo $84.99 (Amazon)
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-500rwt $129.99 (Newegg)

In the future, share your budget with the forum, so that we have an idea of what to look for. Also, pcpartpicker.com will allow you export your parts list into a format that is more readable, and it will also show the price for each item, which helps forum users to gauge costs without having to look everything up independently.

I hope all of this has been helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.

So will a 760 still give me good performance?

And my budget is around $1000 but I'm kind of worried cus based on the parts that I picked right now I'm around $400-$500 over. And that's not including a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

This build should not be anywhere near $1500. With just the parts you've listed, this should be much closer to $900 or $1000. Can you attach links to the prices you've found? Remember though, that you don't have a case, OS, or optical drive listed.

And yes, the 760 is also a good option. It may run games to be released later this year at high, rather than ultra, but it will run almost every currently-released game on ultra.

Here is the link for all the parts I have chosen. Total is around $1100
