get a h97 board for your cpu or else u will need a BIOS update .....get 2 x4 gb of ram dual channel is more faster than single .........get a 550 - 650 watt PSu and try to avoid the cx and vs series from corsair they are not made for gaming pc ..........and why get a 256 gb hdd for 37 $ when u can get 1 tb of wd blue 7200 rpm for 55$....well nothing more to change and i will spend less on keyboard and get a good mouse like razer death adder for gaming...
