Yah thats a great build. Although it would be better if you can find a h97 motherboard im not sure if that b85 will be compatible with that cpu without a bios update. And im not sure about the quality of that psu i have never heard of it before.

I would look at the i5 4570 processor higher clock speed for about the same price and no worries about the BIOS version.
Buy the memory in a 2X4gb set for a total of 8, duel channel mother board.

No worry about the psu.My friend used it and highly recommend it to me.

The i5 4570 is not about the same price in Malaysia.It's like RM70 more and i'm on a tight budget.If I use the i5 4460...will i need to update my bios? (I'm Noob)

No thats a haswell refresh chip it will only work on z97 and h97 motherboards without a bios update.

I'd look into getting a H97 board, the ASRock Anniversary H97 can usually be found for a good price if on a budget. And like Zerk said go for duel channel ram (2x4gb sticks) rather than 1 8gb. Other than that looks good

Oh yes i didn't even notice you only had one stick of 8gb you will definitely want to get 2x4gb instead.

Thx Guys! 😀

Yea the PSU is fine. That B85 board was made with Haswell Refresh support, from the start, so you are good there too.

So you mean i dont need to update bios?

 

[logainofhades]

No you will not. It has supported all Haswell and Haswell refresh chips, from the start. As you can see here, all Haswell and Haswell refresh chips all list F12 for the since bios version column.
