Hi,
I'm saving up for a new gaming PC build to play games such as GTA V and Assassins Creed Unity. I have carefully chosen some parts (over a period of a week) on PC Part Picker to how i would want my PC to be like. I just want some feedback from you guys as to how you think it is! Also my budget is £450 including Windows 8.1 and without a monitor keyboard and mouse.

Build list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/WesoLabeshnai/saved/pqDJ7P

I chose a Pentium G3420 as i will be upgrading to an i5 4670k soon and giving the G3420 to my sister to replace her G3220. Got a Z87 motherboard cause i want to overclock the i5 after getting a better cooler (probably a H80). Also got a nVidia card cause i want to use features like ShadowPlay and the game streaming for Nvidia Shield as i eventually want to get one. Got the Corsair PSU cause its cheap, reliable (according to reviews) and modular (i like my builds to be as tidy as possible and 500w so i have room for future upgrades such as gpu.

Thanks for any feedback!

The Corsair "CX" initially reviews well, but it is made with some inferior Samxon capacitors that cannot take heat and have been cited for early failure. Look into a PSU from XFX. They have some modular models, and they are all made by Seasonic.

I have heard about the G3258 but theres no point getting it as I will get an i5 pretty soon anyway. Also i'm already £20 over my budget and i would have to add the cost of an aftermarket cooler if i were to overclock the G3258. It would end up being way too much only for the performance of a stock i5 4670k. Also i have heard about the Samxon capacitor thing but i don't care. I want something modular and don't want to spend any more than i am. I can upgrade later on to an Antec or more expensive Corsair PSU.

Thanks for the feedback though
