Hi to all, I need some help and suggestion about my build whether if it does any good or not..My budget is not that high only $750.Hopefully this would be money that worth spending.

Mobo : AsRock H97M Pro4
CPU : i7-4790
Ram : Vengeance 2X4Gb 1600mhz
CPU Cooler : Hyper 212x
HD : WD Blue 1TB
PSU : Corsair CX600M

~I was thinking to build amd rig but finally I decided to choose intel because the single core performance it has compared with the amd cpu.

~I will buy graphic card later because i'm not gaming much.

~I'm not doing any heavy stuff like photo/video rendering and i'm just using it for light virtualization (3 or 2 Os running),some programming/coding tasks while i'm still able to surfing and listening song plus my AV still able to run in the background smoothly.

Please advise me.

Take a look at this list and let me know if these are the right components for what you're currently looking at it. If it's accurate, you've got $150 to spare in the budget. There are a couple of upgrades you could do like get a higher quality PSU and/or mobo if you're interested.

I like corsair but. $50 for a psu. No. That is one of the components you want to spend money on.
Oh I do also recommend upgrading the cpu fan to a corsair 80i liquid unit. Much better for efficiency as well. Keep the cpu at a solid rate of 30c while gaming will be a plus.
Like the guy said above you have to factor in a monitor, keyboard, and mouse as well you are going to be above your target so. Good luck.
