Hey Guys, its my first time building a Gaming PC and I could really use some help here.I can't tell my budget cause in my country alot of the parts cost more then in USA. I'm planing on build a PC with Gigabyte GTX 970, and i5 4690k. The problem is that I don't know what other parts to get. I would love to get a motherboard for around 80$ - 95$, prefferably Gigabyte . For PSU I have no idea what to get, but I need it to be as cheap as possible wih also being realable. For HDD/SSD I think I won't be able to afford both, so a HDD 1TB would be most likely the best choice. The ram set is also an issue, there are alot of them, don't know which to choose, but 8gb would be enough. And for the case, around 50$ - 60$ would be nice.

Thanks for the replie, just wanted to ask if it's a big deal if for some reason my motherboard and mobo wouldn't be the same like for example both MSI or Gigabyte ? Can one of those be msi and other gigabyte, and will the performance suffer ?

I`m not sure you expressed right what you wanted to say.
You said motherboard and mobo as if they were two separate items.
But for your peace of mind, there`s no issue if you have different brand parts.
I have a Gigabyte mobo (motherboard), Asus GPU from AMD, Silverstone PSU, HyperX RAM, Intel CPU, and they work like a dream.
