This should do you fine. A good budget build. The CPU always has that overclocking if you ever decide to change your mind. It is basically an underpowered and cheaper version of the i5-4670k. The graphics card is great for the money you are spending.

Hope this helps,
Michael

This PSU is junk. Change it to an Antec vp-450 or an XFX core450. Both are more than enough power for that computer and they are WAY better quality than thermaltake.

After doing a bit of research the power supply is indeed not the greatest. Change PSU to one of the choices made by tiny voices.
