My first gaming pc build, anything to be changed?

PotatoSenpai · Feb 12, 2015

Alright guys this is my first gaming pc build so I've put this together, my budget is around $900 but where I live prices are higher than the US so this is probably the best I can do.

CPU: Intel Core i3 4150 – 3.50GHz Dual Core – BX80646I34150 (122.61$)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H Motherboard (116$)
PSU: Aerocool KCAS 600W 80+ Bronze powersupply (93.29$)
RAM: 8 GB of DDR3-1600MHz Kingston Beast XMP 2x4GB (91$)
Graphics Card: GIGABYTE R9 280 3 GB (384) active DH 2xmDP D5 OC (250$)
Case: Aerocool Strike-X One Advance (50.65$)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s16MB 3.5" ST500DM002 (53.31$)
Monitor: Viewsonic VA2046m-LED 20" (104$)

Total: 912$ (Incl. Shipping)
Soo, is there anything I should change or is there something's that's incompatible? Thanks.

Had to look up the aerocool PSU on jonnyguru, but looks like a solid build!

Have fun!

Aerocool is a tier 5 brand and that particular PSU is made by Andyson who is one of the worst PSU manufactures. I would suggest avoiding it, it's a doorstop with wires coming out of it.

Looks OK. I'd see if there was a way to get a Core i5 (4570 or better, ideally) in there, but otherwise ...

@badboyrog2 I wish I lived in the US but I don't, I live in Saudi Arabia and all the stuff here over priced and I really don't know why :/. I'll try and change the PSU though.
