Oh, okay. The part list in your previous post seemed like something that comes from CyberpowerPC or iBuypower.
One last thing before you're good to go, though. The Black drive is overpriced for what it is. I'd recommend a Blue or a Barracuda drive and to put the money towards a better GPU.
Otherwise, you're good to go!
 
Hello satonic !

As far as I know i5 - 4460 is a locked processor (I have i5 - 4440) and cannot be overclocked. So if you are not into overclocking business and not going to buy another gfx card and crossfire/sli anyway, you can get a cheaper motherboard (Asus H81) like zeyuanfu had suggested and save the money for a better gfx card.

And are you going to use more than one monitor? If no then get a 1 GB version of the graphics card. 2 GB video memory will not provide you with any better graphics except helping out in a dual monitor setting.

This is my built to give you a better picture and I am into casual gaming.

CPU - Intel core i5 -4440,
Motherboard - Gigabyte H81 - S1 (because I will never overclock),
Memory - Kingston HyperX Fury 1 * 4 GB 1866 Mhz CL 10,
Graphics Card - NVidia GTX 750 Ti 2 GB (Since 1 GB version of the card was and is still unavailable).
PSU - Seasonic Eco 400 Watts (Since my total power consumption will seldom cross 300 Watts).
Cabinet - Thermaltake Versa H21.
 



Look, you won't get way too many SATA ports, the USB 3.0 port header is in the back, you can't ever overclock since the board will blow, you can install only one graphics card, and it won't probably support 7.1 sound.
It's at most the stripped down version of the 85 chipset series motherboard, but it will work if you are not into hardcore gaming, and need boatload of usb drives, hdds connected at the same time.
It's the cheapest but reliable board around for socket 1150 intel processors.
 
That's a very good point inamon, but i'm trying to build a gaming pc that will A. Last long, and B. Run most games on at least med to high and finally have a nice balance to it andto be stable
