Hi everyone, buying a new PC in July, so I'm here to ask for opinions/suggestions.
The build:

Case- Bitfenix Prodigy
PSU- Corsair CX500 80+ bronze *
CPU- Intel i5-4570 **
Cooler- Arctic Freezer 7 Pro
MB- Asus H87I-PLUS ***
RAM- Crucial Ballistix Tactical LP 2x4Gb 1600
GPU- Asus GTX660
HDD- Seagate Barracuda 1 Tb

No need for SSD right now, I'm on a budget, no OC ing intended.

*Is this sufficient for this system?
**Any comments on haswell build? Upgrading from 10 yo system, so I guess there's no need for an Ivy build..
*** Asus vs Asrock H87M-ITX ? - same price over here, not much has been said on the internet about the two.

Thanks in advance!

500W is plenty for that system. I've build similar systems on 400W (granted it was an 80+ gold from seasonic)

Thanks, I just looked up and I might go for that one, because they're the same size and it's just a 10$ difference for 100 watts more! I guess it should do if I upgrade the GPU sometimes..
