Will it be fine? Is the PSU good enough for the build..? I'm trying to maintain a low budget

Intel® Core™ i5-4440 Processor
RAM DDR3 8GB
MSI B85-G43 GAMING
HARD DRIVE SATA SG 1TB
Corsair Power Supply VS Series 550W
vidia Geforce GT630 2GB DDR3 MSI
Thermaltake Commander MS-I

Yes, 4440 is Haswell (socket 1150) while 3750k is ivy bridge (socket 1155).
Haswell is newer and you can upgrade your pc later but I think 1150 mainboards are more expensive and if you don't plan to upgrade on the same mainboard later, 1155 would be better, so you can save money and pay for a more powerful CPU.

That's my Idea, you know your needs better
Good Luck

Why don't you get a Core i5 - 3570 K? It would be great for gaming and while it's gaming performance is so close to core i7, it's way cheaper than a core i7.

GT 630 is so weak for gaming. You need at least a HD 7770 or GTX 650 Ti. but I think 7770 is best for your budget build.

Well I'm still a high school student in Malaysia and the price of those are quite expensive for me it's about 100-300 MYR extra.. And I would probably need a different motherboard for that processor

Edit: But thanks for the info, I will consider it..
Edit 2: I normally play games like Dragon Nest, some COD and others.. It should be alright, right..?
