I'm going to be building my very first PC soon, and was just wanting peoples reviews on my specs. any criticisms are appreciated. my budget max's out at 800, all the parts come to 785, so I'm flexible with the parts.

Alright here what I'll do , I'd get a 4460 and spend less on the Case , PSU then get a R9 280 which will deliver better performance than the 750 ti.

While the PSU is perfect but you don't need 10% of your build to spend on an overkill Gold Efficient PSU. A 550W XFX Unit for 45 Bucks will be enough like this one : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb...

Or if you want a semi modular one then this a nice PSU as well : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-power-supply-caps...

This is the GPU of choice : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-r9280dc2t3...

A good and cheaper case will be the corsair 300R while its not the best looking it will deliver outstanding performance for its price .

You might also want to switch the PSU to the rosewill capstone and to i5-4460 in the process ( after switching the GPU ) and keep the case.

would the i5-4460 make a noticeable difference?
