Hello there everyone.
I'm about to build a gaming PC, for the first time, and I'm not going to overclock anything, going with stock settings, and I'm noob in this case.
I'm just wondering, is this spec that I'm planning to build is compatible with each other and worth to buy? And could it run modern games like BF4 with Ultra settings? Thanks. :)

Spec :

Proc : Core i5 4460 3,2GHz Box
VGA : Zotac GeForce 780 3GD5
RAM : Team Elite DDR3 PC12800 1600Mhz (2x4GB)
Motherboard : ASRock H81M-GL
Storage : WDC 1TB SATA3 64MB Caviar Blue
Case : CoolerMaster K282
PSU : Corsair VS Series 550W - 80+

Didn't know if you needed to buy windows or not, but if not, you could still get the GTX780 for less than $1000 and these are all high quality highly reliable parts.

Everything is compatible, but I recommend getting a better motherboard and psu. I don't know what your budget is, but I would get a better mobo and psu even if it meant dropping to a GTX770 or R9 290(which really isn't even a downgrade)
 
CTurbo, Hey thanks for the reply. Well maybe yeah I'll consider purchasing GTX770 or R9 290.
Which one do you recommend? The GTX or R9? Recommended PSU and mobo? Thanks. :)

Wendang, well yeah it's kinda unbalanced. But What's the impact to the gaming performance with the spec above? (Unbalanced components ) :)
 
It's not smart to build with cheap parts. Building a PC is a big investment so you don't want to get poor quality parts. The motherboard and psu are the most important parts of any build. They are the foundation on which you build on. What is your budget?

Hey thanks for the specs but I think those components are hard to find at my country. How about this one? What do you think? Still unbalanced or do I need to change some components again? Thanks. :)

Indonesia. :)
So the motherboard is good now?
Yeah I'll do a bit research with the component, and I'll also consider of purchasing a component from XFX, Antec, or SeaSonic like you said.

And, if using that motherboard, (let's assume the PSU is Antec HCG 620W 80+), will it run BF4, Crysis 3, or another modern games on ultra settings smoothly? Sorry newbie here. :)
