Hello everyone I am building a PC for a friend of mine and I would like it if you could check for in-compatibility or bottlenecks etc. He is going to be buying these parts with his own cash and I don't want to screw this up. If there is anything in the build that could be improved say what you like! Price range is 700-800$ US.

CPU: Intel i5-4460
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-H97-D3H
RAM: G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3-1600
PSU: CORSAIR CXM series CX600M 600W ATX12V
GPU: ASUS GTX750TI-OC-2GD5
Monitor: ASUS VS Series VS247H-P
HDD: WD BLACK SERIES WD1003FZEX 1TB
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 400R
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
WIFI Card: Rosewill RNX-N250PC2

Thanks for the help!

Tell your friend to save another fifty bucks and go with something like this. Considering his need for an OS AND a monitor, the budget is unrealistic. Anything less than this probably isn't going to allow much flexibility in selecting titles to play if you want to get anywhere even near low-medium settings considering the resource demands and complexity of the titles we're beginning to see. If the machine isn't intended to mainly be a gaming rig, then you could drop the GPU card completely off and just use the integrated graphics which are perfectly fine for watching HD video and light gaming.

Or slap a cheaper GPU in there and settle for having to reduce the settings on anything half demanding. Again, if he doesn't intend to game any...

i would use this site for some price comparisons

http://pcpartpicker.com/

you can usually find 1866 ram for the same price as 1600, also a better GPU should be found also.

i would also get an xfx or seasonic power supply as they are around the same price and are the best in the industry
