Hi I would like to hear the opinions about the next system I assembled for 725 euro = 1006,22 dollars:

case : BitFenix Merc Alpha
Motherboard: MSI B75MA-E33
Cooler: cooler master hyper 212 evo
Memmory: Crucial ballistix sport 8gb (2x4gb) DDR3-1600mhz
Video card: MSI r9 270x gaming 2gb
Power supply: sea sonic s12II 430
Hard drive: Seagate 500gb sata 3
CPU: i5-3570
Optical drive: Samsung SH-224DB
Operating system: windows 7 home premium

I also checked pcpartpicker to see item compatibility, didn't get any errors.
Estimated wattage according to pcpartpicker = 354W

So what do you guys think is it a good system for it's price?
(sorry for the bad english)

are u sure 500GB is enough?
and if you're overclocking im not sure about your power supply. if there's no problem then its good :)
your rig is nice, but i think u might wanna check nvidia gpus.

At the webshop I orderd, the gtx 760 was 306.33 dollar the msi r9 270x gaming was 246.23 with the gtx 760 I went over my budget. And it was a must to order from one webshop so I could let them assemble it for me, cause I'm to lazy to do it myself. I ordered from afuture.nl it was actually a pain in the rear to find a webshop that ships to the Netherlands.

As the title says I don't want to overclock ^^. And I am not a extreme gamer play mostly one at a time so 500gb will be enough and if not I can get a better one later on if I get the feeling 500gb ain't enough. the games I play right now are skyrim, borderlands 2 and I'm thinking about getting xcom enemy unknown. Do you think this will be enough to play them all on ultra???

well.. if single monitor then yes. an i5 and r9 270x is more than enough for hd gaming.
