Need Opinions About This Build

I plan to play strictly at 1080p. I intend to play most games including DA:I, Witcher 3, Dying Light and such. My budget is stretched as far as I can stretch it. Are there any slightly better alternatives? By the way, I'm not familiar with overclocking; would this build be able to pull it off?

CPU: Intel Core i5 4460
GPU: Asus Radeon R9 280X
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
MB: Asus B85M-G
HDD: 1TB (1000GB)
PSU: Cooler Master 600W
CASE: /

What's your budget? As for overclocking you won't beable to with that processor, also you could get a 500w PSU to save some money.

I agree with Cooper0408

And yes you'd be able to play all those games with your build

Just that you won't be able to play them at ultra or all high settings. Overclocking CPU only applies to CPU ending with the code 'K'. However you can still overclock your GPU to achieve better gameplay performance

Thanks for replying. This is as far as the budget goes, around 750-800 EUR. Anyhow, I don't think I'll be overclocking; I believe I'm just fine like this. However, I'm okay with this PSU, but someone told me that it seems to be a 220/240 input. I have no idea what that means. Can you help?

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I won't be doing any OC on this build, it would seem. As I've mentioned above already, can you give me your opinion on the matter of one person mentioning that the PSU is a 220/240 input?

Doesn't really matter too much. All you need to concern yourself with when choosing PSU is about the 12V rail and all those. A video on choosing the right PSU if you like : https://youtu.be/lXku-gsdyok
He gives a really in-depth explanation on how to choose a good PSU you will need for your system

As a rough guide your should look at the 12V rail and the Amp your PSU is giving and do some simple math to calculate if your system need that amount of power. One other way you can do it, is by going to PC partpicker and pick out your parts, the system there will automatically calculate your power consumption and you just have to buy something close to or above to give yourself some headroom to grow if you ever upgrade your system

Also if you really are on a tight budget, you can try the AMD FX 8*** series. Go look around on the forum

There are tons of information on the FX 8*** CPU. It's cheaper than Intel by up to half the price in some country I heard and produced quite a strong performance if you take the price you are paying to what you are receiving.

Thank you. I think I have it figured out.
