I am building a computer for the first time and would like to know how my build is.

MSI H87-G43 MOBO
Intel i5-4670
Corsair CX500
Corsair vengeance 8gb 1600 RAM
MSI gtx 760
Corsair H60
Rosewill Mid tower Blackhawk
WD black 1 TB
Windows 7 Home premium

I will be playing games like Starcraft 2 and Battle field on 1080p monitor on high settings. I am not looking to overclock at all. Any recommendations? I do not want to go over this price. Thanks!

Get better PSU that CX is a crap. This is bit overkill (750w) but now good and cheap price.

Other real good psu. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr750rm

Well XFX is good 550w http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9
This must be bestchoice for you :)

Id lose that H60 cooler. Too damn loud IMO. Needs silent fan.

Still Id get 4670k and OC but if that is 100% sure NO to OC. Then best buy is Intel xeon 1230V2 / V3

With xeon 1230V2 build looks like this.

Xeon do not need so expensive cpu cooler. It is much cooler than 4670 and it lot faster too. Itdo have HT and 8 treads.

This means 10 FPS in some games. (faster than 3570k OC to 45GHz)

If you buy in EU then intel xeon 1230V3 is cheaper and then it is the best buy. In USA that is just too priced at this moment. Now remember this is i7 for a price i5. (same chip as the 3770) no iGPU and just 100MHz slower.
