Just something I would change is look into getting a bigger power supply. Something even at 650 or so because when/if you upgrade you will be kicking yourself in the butt for not grabbing a bigger psu. I know now that I'm upgrading I'm finding that I would be more comfortable with a 650w supply instead if my 500w

That's a great build if you aren't interested in OC, but the video performance might lack. If you want some extra performance go with the 760, or get a 7850 or 650 ti Boost with 2gb of V-RAM, because that is what most gaming demand these days.

2GB of Vram would do you some good trust me, I bought on the Radeon side of graphics cards and bought a HD7770 1GB GHz edition... Great card ofc.. but the part I didn't realize was a basic must is 2GB of vram.. missing out on some better graphics
