Hi,
I want to build a new PC over the summer and wanted to know how it is. I want to use it for modern games, such as Titanfall, Skyrim, and ESO with decent graphics and a good fps rate, and also I want to use it for school work. I also have a few questions about it.

Is everything compatible with each other?
Does the PSU have enough wattage for my build?
What settings can my GPU play games on?
Should I put my OS on my SSD or HDD?

Processor: Intel i5 4670k ($220)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8 GB ($80)
Motherboard: ASUS Z87 PLUS ($160)
GPU: EVGA 02G-P4-3751-KR GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB ($150)
Hard Drive: WD Caviar Blue 1 TB ($60) Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB SSD($90)
Optical Drive: Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal ($23)
Power Supply Unit: EVGA 500B 500W 80PLUS Bronze Certified ($45)
Heatsink Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO ($35)
OS: Windows 7 ($100)
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 ($100)

Everything is compatible. The PSU has enough Wattages to handle the system but I would push for a 550 or maybe a 600 just to have plenty of head room. You should put the os on the ssd. It would be foolish not to put the os on the ssd since that will give you fast boot times and productivity. You shouldn't expect too much from the gpu since it is an entry level card but you will be able to game at 1080p and probably at medium settings to get 60fps+ You could play high settings but your fps would be around 30fps
