Hey guys,

What do you think about this configuration?

motherboard: Gigabyte B85-HD3, B85, DDR III 1600/1333, VGA, DVI, HDMI, LGA1150
CPU: intel core i5-4570, 3.2 GHz, 6MB, BOX, LGA1150
RAM: GEIL 2x4 GB DDR III 1600 ENH CORSA CL 9
HDD: WD 1024GB 64MB SATA III Green
CASE and PSU: CM K280, with 500W PSU

The computer will be for everyday use - heavy browsing, movies, music, rarely games (thats why i didnt put video card). Thats pretty much what my budget allows me to get.

Are those compatible with each other?
Is it better to get a case and separate PSU (for example CM N300 black, USB3.0 and CM G500W Active PFC) instead of the case wtih psu?

And on what components could i save some money with smth cheaper in the sense that for my needs i wont notice visible change?

If you dont plan on getting a separate GPU then I suggest an AMD APU as your CPU, as they will give you much better integrated graphics performance compared to the i5 and still cost you up to $60 less compared to the i5. Also you dont need a 500W, a 400W or even lower would suffice. Heres a quick AMD one, something like this:

I didnt chose a case since I cant guess what kind of style you like but choose any ATX case that fits your style and price
