MBRD: Asrock H97M PRO4

CASE: CoolerMaster K350
POWER: CoolerMaster G550M

The Asrock H97M PRO4 comes with 2 SATA cables, if you plan to have more than two SATA devices, you'll need additional SATA data cables.

Although the CM Hyper T4 is a decent aftermarket cooler, with a locked CPU like the i5-4460, I'd use the stock Intel cooler.

There quite simply is no reason that users should be paying the same price for this Cooler Master G550M PSU as they are for those far and away better options." found here CM G550M PSU review

Just some things to consider
