Hey guys, as the title suggests, I am building a new computer in a month or so and since this is my first time building a computer, I would kindly like to ask your opinion. I am stuck between multiple parts for multiple slots, but I will tell my reasons at those points. I am living in Europe, so the prices I am about to list are based on the lowest retailer price in my country - converted to USD. Also, the rig is going to be used mainly for gaming, no HD rendering or anything like that, and most likely below 1080p, but this may change in the future.
CPU: Intel Core i5 4440 - 200$ ( I was thinking of an AMD FX-8320 to be more future-proof, but I am not going to be able to purchase the dedicated VGA with the rest of the parts, hence I prefer this because of the integrated VGA)
Motherboard: Asus H81-PLUS LGA1150 - 74$
VGA: MSI GTX 760 2GB - 289$ / Sapphire R9 270x 2GB - 235$ (Quite stuck on this one too, because Mantle seems to producing quite nice results, but I've read that the GTX 760 is better by a 20% margin)
RAM: Kingston DDR3 8GB 1600Mhz - 85$
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB - 63$
SSD: Maybe later on, right now not a necessity.
Case: Cooler Master Midi Elite Knight 350 RC-K350-KWN2-EN - 50$
PSU: Cooler Master Elite Power Black - RS600-ACAB-M2 600W - 50$
I am picking up some semi-decent monitor later on and I already have a Windows 8 license.
Total: 522$ + the VGA 289$/235$
So, like I have already mentioned, my aim is to get the everything besides the VGA as soon as possible, and do some light gaming like League of Legends and watch series' and movies for like a month or so, when I going to get some money for the VGA. I also would like to make it as much future-proof as possible, I am planning to upgrade the VGA every 2 years or so.
Thank you in advance, take care.
