Hi, I'm currently a console gamer and am looking to go over to PC gaming by potentially building my own PC. I'm on a rather low budget due to being a student but this is what I came up with :)

Would this run well and are all components compatible with eachother, or is there anything else you could recommend? Thanks :)

CPU; Intel Core i3-4130

CPU Cooler; Cooler Master Hyper 212 82.9

Motherboard; ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150

Memory; Corsair 2x4gb DDR3-1333

Hard Drive; Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM

Graphics Card; EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB FTW ACX

Case; Zalman Z12 ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply; EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX

Wireless Network Card; Asus PCE-N15

Total Cost around £500

Also a few questions, would I need to update graphic card drivers immediately, would the display work without updates, and if so how would I update with no display? And do I need a sound card?

Thankyou :)

Good build. I would not change anything. It is recommended to update the drivers immediately. The display would work w/o any updates, but you will most likely experience A LOT of problems. You need a display in order to update... not sure what you mean by this. No sound card is needed, as the mobo already has sound.

Thanks, I meant sort of if I needed to update without a display how would that be done but you answered that with the display working without updates. Thanks for the reply :D
