Would This Work

[Mihcaelshortcake]

I have been wondering If this would work as a Computer?

Yep - that'd be fine except you should have a 600W power supply. Get the XFX650 instead

Yes that will work, if you're not overclocking. But if you're not overclocking why get the i5-4690k ($234.99 @Newegg) Instead, get the i5-4590 ($194.99 @Newegg)
Also read this - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-3.html

And if you are overclocking, get a good quality 650/750W PSU.

Why get the xfx650 instead? And would I still want to get the xfx650 if I were to get the 4590 instead of the 4690k? Because I dont think im going to be overclocking in the future

For a pc with a 280x, you need at least 600W

The 4690 doesn't overclock. Its about $20 cheaper than the 4690k. The 4690k though has higher clock speeds than the 4690 even without overclocking and so would still perform better. So get the 4690 if you definitely never want to overclock. If you get the 4690 you also won't need an overclocking motherboard (Z97). You van then also get one of the cheaper H97 motherboards. But they can only fit one graphics card. If you possibly want to fit a second graphics card down the track then get the Z97.

Well then i'm probly going to get the 4690 and probly keep z97 motherboard for the future and get a xfx650

Sounds good.

But now im really confused on what os to get and a wireless adapter but thats probly been answered already before so thank your help!

OS - Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 64 bit.

Wifi - per your router - single or dual band. TP Link or Asus.

 

[Mihcaelshortcake]

Windows 8 64 bit
Dualband netgear

 

[i7Baby]

So OS is OK.

Try Asus N53 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320113 $40

 

[Mihcaelshortcake]

I guess

No worries. You won't even need the custom cooler seeing as you can't overclock the cpu anyway. Good luck with your build!

Is ther a diffrence between a thermal take 600W and the xfx 650

 

[i7Baby]

Yes - the thremaltake is poor quality. See http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html
