First time building a new system. This will be pretty much a casual gaming system. Nothing to fancy. I am starting from the bottom to the top. Looking for some good input. This is not set in stone yet. But here is what I have so far.

Mother Board- MSI Z97 Gaming 5
CPU. - IntelIcore I5 4690K
GPU. - MSI R7 4G

If you think I should change something please let me know.
