The PSU is low quality first off all. Change it to Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic.

Secondly the GPU is far too weak to be considered "for gaming".

You should change the CPU to an fx6300 and the motherboard to an am3+ board. Use all the saved money to get a better GPU.

gtx650 ti is too weak?? damn im misleaded
 
You original post does not say it is a ti model. It just says gtx650. Which is not a very good card.

I would still even change the CPU and motherboard as I previously advised and get an even better GPU. The i5 can't really stretch its legs with a 650ti so getting it over an fx6300 is pointless.

Looks like a decent built. Upgrading the PSU to a higher quality unit would save you some headache down the road. For gaming try and swing the few extra bucks for a gtx 660 or 660ti, in the long run you will be very happy you did.

for the PSU check this:
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Gaming-Series-GS600-Supply/dp/B00AMLKA84/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389365314&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+gs600

and if you like my idea check this SSD:
http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-2-5-Inch-SV300S37A-120G/dp/B00A1ZTZOG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1389365380&sr=8-3&keywords=kingston

and for the gpu, sorry i mean 650ti check this:
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Dual-Link-Graphics-01G-P4-3650-KR/dp/B009KUT322/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389365538&sr=8-1&keywords=gtx650ti
 


That PSU is overpriced and way more than he needs.

An SSD really isn't in the question here.

He is talking about a 650ti BOOST which is better than the 650ti you linked by a decent amount.

OPTICAL DRIVE: DVD RW 24x

IS THIS BUILD OK?
 


That PSU is from the CX line from Corsair and isn't the best but it will do.The 500w version would be more than enough if it is any cheaper.

That setup looks fine. I would get win 8.1 simply because it is better in every way. Games are proven to run faster on it and there are benchmarks to prove it.

do u think its worth swapping the GTX 650 Ti BOOST for a HD 7870? i got a fairly good deal at a local store for about the same price.
 


Yes, the 7870 is considerably more powerful than the 650ti BOOST.
