Need help for my first build

[parco98]

I'm building a gaming pc for the first time I want to know if my pc will be good enough here are the parts

Intel Core I5-3459 Ivy Bridge CPU

MSI B75MA-E33 B75 Motherboard

kingston ddr3 1600mhz 8gb (1 stick) RAM

Seagate 1 tb hardrive

Lite-on iHAS124 24X DVD writer

Cooler Master RC-371-KKN3 Elite 371 case

Sapphire HD7850 2 GB GDDR5 Video card

ANTEC HCG520 High Current Gamer 520W 80Plus Bronze power supply

I still have about $50 to spend so I want to know where should I spend it on and are there any things that I should improve. This is my first build so I really hope someone can help me out.

This isn't super well planned out.. If I were you I'd invest in an i5 3570k and a 7870 if you can fit it in.. the 7850 is right at that gap where you can't max out the big games like bf3 with good fps, while the 7870 kinda can if you're not super picky. the PSU looks ok because antec is nice.. grab maybe a HAF 912 for your case.. what's your exact budget and I'll put you something together c: thanks

Thanks for the feedback my budget is limited to about $670 and I don't have to worry about shipping because I know where to shop by for parts.I know $670 isn't a lot but it's all that I have.

 

[Emelth]

you might want to think about an AMD for that price

 

[parco98]

ok do you think you can give me a preliminary build because I don't think i'll have time to research it right now , sorry.
