Hiya guys, This is my first time building a PC. Im working on a cheap gaming PC, my price range is about 450-500$ These are some of the parts i've picked out

MoBo: MSI ZH77A-G41
RAM G.SKILL 8G(2x4G) DDR3 1600
GPU: Sapphire HD6570 1G GDDR5
CPU: Intel i5-3470
Power Supply: Antec vp550 500w

Will these parts work? Do you guys have better suggestions?

Do I need to buy a cpu cooler? I thought Intel chips came with a cooler in-box. I dont know though.
Thanks in advance guys.

Hey, thanks so much for the answer
Wow, I did not realize how much cheaper AMD cards where. Its half the Price of the i5....
Will this build be able to run recent games? I'm not looking for super-ultra 1080p stuff, I just need a pc that can run games without crashing.
