Hi, I just made a pc gaming build, with some help from a friend, but we actually don't know much about computer hardware so I would like you guys to tell me what you think. Please tell me if this is a good build, if it's all compatible, if it will run games good or not and if I must or should change anything (I prefer not to raise the price if possible). Thanks a lot

The build looks good; all is compatible.
However, that GPU is going to severely bottleneck that system's gaming potential. It's designed for low wattage systems (300w), and not necessarily the best pick for your system.
With your PSU, I'd suggest a R9 270x, or a r9 280. Or if you prefer NVIDIA, a GTX 760.
Moreover, I'd suggest a better PSU with around 750w, at least, and a better GPU, like a r9 280x, or r9 290. I can provide you with options if you'd like

if this is just for gaming, you could drop to a i5 4690k and upgrade to a 770 or 280x. Yea, I dont think I need a i7, do I?
With that you just said, you think I'll be able to play, ehm, Dayz on Ultra for example?
Anheanz said:
Probably, high/ultra on pretty much everything 1080[=pAgreed. You don't really need an i7 since most games right now don't fully utilize it's hyperthreading ability and you're only looking at a difference of a few fps. The i5 will be a great match with the 280x or 770.

Notice that you have an overclockeable CPU (i7 4790k) while your motherboard does not allow you to overclock it. The motherboards that allow you to overclock it are the 'Z97' motherboards.
The 750 ti is pretty mediocre GPU i recomend cutting price on the CPU.
If you want to be able to overclock:
Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Noctua NH-U12S 55.0 CFM CPU Cooler
MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card
Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case
XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit)
LG 22M35D 60Hz 22.0" Monitor
PRICE: 1028.97
If you're not going to be overclocking
Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
ASRock H81 Pro BTC ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB DirectCU II Video Card
Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case
XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit)
LG 22M35D 60Hz 22.0" Monitor
PRICE: 1209 Remember that is this case you have to go into the BIOS (befor installing the OS) to set up the system so it boots from the SSD.

You are pairing an overclocking CPU with a non-overclocking motherboard. Replace the CPU with an i5 without a "K" in the name. That'll save you money.
Since you won't be overclocking, you won't need a cooler. Motherboards have on-board sound that does just fine, unless you're a hardcore audiophile. Motherboards also have an ethernet port, so the only adapter you would need is a WiFi adapter if you're not close enough to use an ethernet cord.

It's perfect, but the 'K' CPUs are able to overclock, so if you said you won't overclock, then go for the i7-4690 (without the k) and you will save some money.
Searching on the internet, i read that the board has on board sound so you will not need soundcard. You will not need a cooler because it comes in the CPUs box.

And no, I dont plan on overclocking, I want is to play games like BF4 or Dayz on High-Ultra settings. I just changed the build. Here http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/BernardoF/saved/RgPgXL Tell me what you guys think. Also, do I need a cooler?
And dont I need stuff like Sound Card, Network Adapter?
It's perfect, but the 'K' CPUs are able to overclock, so if you said you won't overclock, then go for the i7-4690 (without the k) and you will save some money.
Searching on the internet, i read that the board has on board sound so you will not need soundcard. You will not need a cooler because it comes in the CPUs box.
Ok, I just changed the CPU to a i7 4790. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/BernardoF/saved/RgPgXL Am I ready to go with this build?

Bernardo (espaƱol) ?Notice that you have an overclockeable CPU (i7 4790k) while your motherboard does not allow you to overclock it. The motherboards that allow you to overclock it are the 'Z97' motherboards.
The 750 ti is pretty mediocre GPU i recomend cutting price on the CPU.
If you want to be able to overclock:
Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor

PRICE: 1028.97
If you're not going to be overclocking
Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
ASRock H81 Pro BTC ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

If you're just gaming, an i5 is good enough. An i7 won't offer any advantages over an i5 in gaming (usually). Unless you're doing video editing or rendering or stuff of the like, go with an i5 and save yourself like $100.Oh, ok then. Should I go with a i5 4690S or i5 4690?
go with the 4690. The s version is slower because it is more energy efficient
