Budget for GPU is $450 USD.

Just looking for suggestions on my first build. This will be about a 3 month long process; I have the CPU and PSU purchased purchased. There were sales I didn't think I should pass up.

I was leaning towards a Gigabyte MoBo (UD4H).

CPU: i5 4670k
GPU: Rosewill Fortress 550w

Any/all suggestions, facts, or 'you-need-to's are welcome.

Can you return it? Z97 chipset will be coming soon. UD4H is a good mobo, theres all sorts of boards, I had an MSI but I think next time Im going to use ASUS ROG board.
Definitley go with Seasonic for PSUs.
Its hard to suggest anything when you have given no budget.

Sorry for the lack of budget, I'm trying to stay around $1300 USD, but can go up to/not over $1500. Not sure if I can return the i5, I'll look into it. The PSU I was pretty confident would suffice for the build, but I'm under 30 days so returning it too should be fine.

I just kind of jumped the gun because of the deals I saw on the items ($70 off the i5 and 40% of the PSU). Which was putting me very much under budget. My budget also includes a Monitor, keyboard, and mouse. This is my return to a gaming PC; my first (and last) was owned in 1996.

*ninja edit* budget for a GPU is $450 USD.

The point is the OP has a few months. Z97 is right around the corner and its broadwell compatible. If the OP could sell the 4670K for cash that would work out but I suggest you get Z97.

Well... I think I'll stick with what I have so far. The build is based around the i5 4670k, my GPU budget is 450 usd.

I was thinking about the MSI 770 2gb, and was hoping on more bang for my buck, if possible. Any suggestions that can speak to GPU's specifically?

I would at least return the PSU and get a Seasonic PSU.

What do you think about MicroATX and the ASUS ROG Gene? for ATX the ASUS ROG Hero.
