Is this a good build

[Mikeleleveld]

Hi
I am planning to build my first gaming rig
And since i am not a expert at computers
I thought it would be a good idea to ask you guys for some advice
The specs:
Be quiet! System Power 7 500W
Intel Core i5 4690K Boxed
Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB DDR3-1866 CL10 kit
MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition
Samsung SH-224FB
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB
Sharkoon VG4-W Blue
R9 280x vapor x
Intel 520 series 120GB ssd
Will this run recent games and is it future proof?

A good PSU is important and that one is not the greatest, I would go with a tier 1 or 2 unit on this list http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Your system will work well but my only observation is the GPU is a little weak when compared to the CPU. If budget is a problem how about going to a non k 4690 with stock cooler and H97. Then use the money saved to get s better gpu. Another idea if you want to overclock is drop the ssd and use the money for a better gpu. You can add an SSD later.

What SSD and Graphics card do you have? Manufacturer Name and Model.
For the price your build looks fine.

Any sugestions?

if you want i7 like performance you could get an Intel XEON 1241v3 for a a little more money. Its a 3.5GHz CPU with hyper threading.
Overall your build looked fine to me. I would suggest a better case, if you spend the money right you can get a case that will be useful for many PC builds and upgrades.

A SeaSonic 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

If you already have the gpu then don't worry, your build is ok as long as you get a better psu.
