Hey, I'm buying a new gaming PC in the next few days and looking for some advice on my build. Is it any good? Should I change some parts or keep it as it is? My biggest concerns are PSU and MB.

I won't be doing crossfire and I don't want to overclock the CPU but I will probably overclock the video card when I stop running new games on good graphics. I plan on keeping the build as is without upgrading for 3-5 years. My monitor is 21.5", 1920x1080p.

Budget is ~1000 euros, can be a bit over. Since I live in Latvia (Europe) I will probably be ordering from here: dataleks.lv. Any suggestions welcome, thanks!

Build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 | 211 €
Motherboard: Asus H97M-E | 74 €
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport (2x4GB) | 41 €
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB | 50 €
SSD: Crucial BX100 250GB | 85 €
Video Card: MSI R9 390 | 350 €
Case: Cooler Master Silencio 352 | 52 €
Power Supply: Cooler Master V650 Semi Modular | 110 €
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24F1ST | 14.86 €
Total: 987.86 €

Hi, sorry it took so long for someone to get back to you, but here is what I would suggest to go for, ive given you a new Skylake processor meaning that's its more future proof than the one you picked out also the PSU that ive picked out is top of the line and will last you for many years.

It's pretty nice build within your amount. The power supply units from cooler master V, VS series are good. Rest all seems fine to me.

Thank you both for your alternative suggestions. Xeon E3 isn't available where I'm buying my parts. After some more research and asking around I've decided to pretty much stick with my original build!
