Hi guys, so i'm about to build my own pc and just wanna check if this build is ok.
Any feedback is much appreciated, cheers.

Msi b85 g43 gaming + i5-4570
Gskills ripjaws 1600mhz 2x4gb kit red
WD 1TB SATA 6GB/s, 16MB Cache, 7200RPM
Crucial m500 240gb
Sapphire R9 290 TRI-X 4GB GDDR5 OC
Seasonic g650 650w 80+ gold modular psu
Fractal design DEFINE r4 with window
Samsung ODD
Windows 7 home premium 64bit oem

EDIT: Will there be any bottlenecking or anyhing of that sort? A little worried my CPU will be bottlenecking my GPU

Very nice build. I wouldnt worry about bottlenecking with a 4570...that said, I would try to get a 4670K from Microcenter instead. Youll appreciate the unlocked multiplier, and it clocks up great.

Also, I'd spend up a *little more for this AWESOME deal on the Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE250BW/dp/B00E3W1726/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394827376&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+evo+840

Much better write times than the Crucial m500.

On the GPU front, the Sapphire R9 290 TRI-X is a great card...but I would also consider the EVGA SC GTX 780 (ACX Cooler): http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX780-SuperClocked-03G-P4-2784-KR/dp/B00CUIVSNS

Saves some money, runs cooler, less power...and trades blows with the 290.

Good luck on the build friend, (whatever you choose) youll have a monster rig!

Unfortunately, the card u mentioned is approx 170USD more then the current card in my setup, best bang for buck is the one i picked for my country. also i think i will be good without the SSD, if i do add it in i'll be somewhat passing my budget. Could u explain to me more about the 4670k and how it compares to the 4570, i dont really understand how it will affect my cpu's performance and it if its actually worth the extra buck, sorry, i'm not very good at this.

good build, 4670k have unlocked multiplier and for that u have to get z87 mobo but if its out of budget than its no problem 4570 is enough.

Ahmadjon · Mar 15, 2014

4570 CPU has locked multiplier, 4670k is the top i5 CPU with unlocked multiplier, unlocked CPU overclocks better than locked, anyway if you don't want to overclock your CPU buy your current build, but if you want you have to change your CPU and B85 chipset motherboard to Z87 chipset
Here is thread about locked and unlocked CPU's http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/328783-28-what-unlocked-mean

i would save some money and just get a regular 780/290 and upgrade to a 4670k plus a phanteks ph-tc14pe-bk. there are definitely some games where having a considerable jump in cpu core speed, in this case 30-35%, will give you more fps than the 15-20% faster gpu. also make sure you get 2x4gb of cas9 1600 "low profile" ram.
