I'm looking to build my first gaming pc, I want to know if this is a good rig for the money and what I could do to improve it if possible. I'm definitely not looking to overclock anything. As far as what games I play I will be using it for new rpgs coming out this year and Skyrim for the most part, i don't care about BF4 or anything of the sort. On amazon it is around $960-$970, I can't go higher than that. Much appreciated!

CPU - Intel Core i5-4670
Motherboard - MSI H87 G43
Video Card - Gigabyte GTX 770 GDDR5-4GB OC WINDFORCE
RAM - Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB 1600MHz
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1 TB
Case - Thermaltake V4 Black Edition
Power Supply - SilverStone Strider 600W
Optical Drive – Samsung Optical Drive

Looks compatible, and you'll get good gaming for your dollar on that setup. I'd agree with putting off an SSD purchase if on a budget. SSDs increase game load times but do nothing for FPS. If gaming is your priority and you don't mind the load times, keep the money invested in a good gpu like you have done.

Personal preference would be to get an Asus board, as I just never have problems with them, Asrock 2nd, gigabyte 3rd. Again, just personal preference. Good luck and enjoy the new system!

P.S. is the PSU the ST-60F-SG model?

Would that increase the time Windows 7 boots up and also increase fps? I'm kind of set on the GPU and CPU, I can upgrade further when Spring ends unless it would make a big difference.

The SSD wouldn't increase FPS (at least, not to my knowledge) but it would indeed increase windows boot up time if you have only the OS on the SSD.

Alot of people will tell you to go with a Western Digital Drive as well, as Seagates tend to fail often.

I'll remember that, thanks for the advice. I am pretty patient though since I have never really used a fast computer so I know not what it feels like. I can wait on the SSD. I just want to make sure everything else checks out as far as compatability and performance for gaming. If everything seems safe and stable I will go ahead and make the purchase.

Good to hear! I'll make sure to check out the Asus MOBOs before I purchase. The PSU I am looking at would be the ST60F-ES
