How does it look?

Thank you in advance!

Looks good. PSU is more than enough.

I would stick with the M4. I have it - very reliable.

Just remember IB runs hotter than SB. So I wouldn't OC until you get your Noctua.

Also you might want to buy all your parts from 1 place. Just for the fact it would be easier to return stuff if need be.

a better deal than what you have now

ASrock extreme 4 and crucial m4 128GB saving about $30

go with this PSU:SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W same price you will lose about 30 watts but that's nothing compared to gaining fully modular for a more organized build with less wiring to do.

changed monitor to something that cost less for a 24in
ASUS VW246H Glossy Black 24" this will be all you need, if you need you can even get 2 monitors that are 22" less than your monitor for about $300
ViewSonic VA2248m-LED Black 22" Full HD LED BackLight LCD Monitor w/Speakers $269.98

you will need to get an HDD inside for backup a 128GB SSD won't do the job it will mostly be just your boot up and a little bit of game storage
Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache about $100 it may raise or lower as i have seen this past week

EDIT:forgot about something if you can fit it into your budget i would go with 500R just because it looks cooler(white version) has led fans and has a fan controller not to mention really good airflow for your heatsink in a push and pull
Corsair 500R white

looks great to me.but where is hdd?

 

[IIIndy]

Thanks for the replies guys.
I'll get a HDD at some point, have an external one that i can use for now.
I suppose the stock cooler that comes with the i5 is not the best thing in the world, but can i run it for a couple of weeks? Should be OK
without OC i believe

Stock HSF is fine. Even if you OC a little bit.

 

[hellfire24]

stock heatsink is fine for stock clocks but things start to get worse when you play with overclocks and the noise becomes unbearable.

I won't OC, at least not at the beginning. I'll try my luck after I get the noctua.
