Note I am on a budget. I'm mostly looking for motherboard, case, and to a lesser extent PSU recommendations, but of course suggestions on all parts are welcome.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 Haswell Quad-Core 3.3GHz LGA 1150
GPU: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 4GB
MoBo: ASRock B85M-DGS LGA 1150 Intel B85
HDD: Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
PSU: Rosewill CAPSTONE Series CAPSTONE-550 Continuous 550W
Case: Sentey Gs-6008 Stealth Gaming Computer Case

Thanks! Also, this is my first post here, so hopefully this is in the right category.

- The i5 4690 is a newer version of the haswell cpu series, it will give you a little better performance over the 4590. I would even choose the cheaper i5 4460 over the 4590 because performance would be virtually the same.
- Get a cheap H97 motherboard, this enables you to upgrade in the future to the next generation intel cpu's.
- For a few bucks more I would opt for a R9 280x for better gpu perfomance.
- The capstone series psu are excellent psu's.
