I have not built a PC in quite some time. I just want to get some opinions on my build to make sure it works. I'm also welcome any suggestions you may have. I am, however, trying to keep the cost down below $1100 - $1200.

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770

Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

GPU: MSI Gaming N760 TF 4GD5/OC GeForce GTX 760 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL

Hard Drive: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

PSU: Rosewill Xtreme Series RX850-S-B 850W Continuous @40°C ,80 PLUS Certified, ATX12V v2.2 & EPS12V v2.91, SLI Ready CrossFire Ready, Active PFC "Compatible with Core i7, i5" Power

Case: Rosewill THOR V2-White Edition, THOR V2-W Gaming ATX Full Tower Computer Case

I'll be using an existing DVD drive that I have for the disk drive, but plan to buy a blu-ray burner. I also plan to add a 1 TB non SSD drive to the machine as well.

My only real concern is the PSU. With the addition of the parts I will be getting after the initial build, will the PSU be powerful enough to handle the components?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Your mobo is for Ivy Bridge CPU's(3rd gen).Your CPU is Haswell(4th gen).You need an H87 or H97 board to run.It can't be overclocked so getting a Z87 or Z97 board is useless.I would stay away from the PSU.Get one from brands like Antec,XFX,Corsair or Seasonic with atleast a certification of 80+Bronze.500-600 watts should be good.Your other parts are fine to run.

The purpose of the build is to be a somewhat decent gaming PC. Mostly to run things such as FF XIV, Titanfall, Borderlands 2 etc... I do not plan on overclocking nor do I plan on doing an SLI configuration.

I'm not quite sure how I didn't see that the mobo wasn't compatible. I've been shopping around A LOT on newegg and must have added the wrong one to my wish list, so that's my mistake.

I changed the mobo to a MSI H87-G43 LGA 1150 Intel H87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX High Performance CF Intel Motherboard

I changed the power supply to a CORSAIR CXM series CX750M 750W ATX12V v2.3 just in case.

You can save money by picking up an i5 4570, games really dont benefit from hyperthreading.

You probably just need an i5, but if you want an i7, I recommend this Xeon, which is an i7. The H97 motherboard will support Intel's next gen cpus. The GTX770 is way better than the GTX760.
