hello guys! I need help with my first build of desktop pc..
Programs that I am gonna use: c++, photoshop, fireworks, and some gaming (wanna to be able to run GTA V very smooth)
also Dying light is gonna be big one for me, like mirror's edge 2 ?

---This is what i am gonna buy next week:
CPU: INTEL i5 4570 3.20GHz Haswell
Motherboard: MB BIOSTAR Hi-Fi B85S3
Case: SILVERSTONE Precision SST-RL01B
RAM: G.SKILL 4 GB DDR3-1600
Power supply: ATX SilverStone SST-ST70F-ES v1.1 700W

HDD 1 TB, WD10EZEX, SATA-6Gb, 7200 rpm, 64 MB

---Gonna buy in next month or two:
GPU, 4GB ram and Monitor (BENQ GL2450 24") ?

1. My main question is: Will that motherboard cause me any trouble, ( my GPU will be GTX 760, or maybe Gainward GTX 770)
so if i got that build with GTX 770 will my motherboard be OK with that?
im not planing to OC anything.
2. Any comment or random observation will be much appreciated.

Where i live i don't have a lot of options so.. Tray to not change my "built" a lot.
But whatever, any i mean ANY advice is welcome.
Thanks!

Biostar isn't a great brand. I would recommend going with a H87 board, preferrably by the major brands, ASUS, Gigabyte, ASRock, MSI.

A single GPU won't have any problems with any motherboard (granted you're not using an old CPU that still uses AGP, in which, you're not).

I would also recommend switching to a higher end Corsar (AX/HX/TX) unit, XFX PSU, SeaSonic, or perhaps an Antec.

You're gonna want to start off with 8GB. 4 is usually not adequate for photoshop and gaming. Also that motherboard isn't very good. It doesnt have the latest chipset and it only support DDR3 1600 and you wanna get a board that supports something higher than that so if you wanna upgrade your ram. Also it only has 4 usb ports.

thanks for answers!

So firs i gonna change motherboart to "MB ASUS P8H77-M PRO"? or "MB ASUS P8Z77-V LX2"? (that is what i have in my pc shop, any of that is gonna work?)

and about power supply: SilverSton is not good? because that is only brand i have in that pc shop (there is silverstones wich cost more also)
if i have to, i will find somehow better brend?

G.Skill Ripjaws is also the only RAM in that PC store. That alos need replacement?

My bad. Misread the OP's post. Read it as 4GB RAM (BenQ etc)
Hadn't seen he'd put 4GB RAM and monitor

Disregard my first post OP

No it doesn't (unless anyone else on the forum thinks otherwise). I'd misread your post and thought you were planning on putting two different RAM manufacturers' RAMs in there
