Hi! I need some opinions on this build. Do you like it and if not what should i change? I want this PC to run pretty much all the games coming out at 1920x1080, 60+ fps, high/ultra settings. I'm not planning to overclock. I already have the hard drive and the GPU is heavily discounted. (I'm buying these parts from Romania, so the prices don't really match).The maximum budget is 700$.

I would not change to an H81 motherboard to add more RAM . Currently 2 x4 gig is more than a gamer needs .

The psu is a brand I have never heard of , but it seems to be bronze rated so that should be fine

Your build is very good, but I think this gives a bit better value for money
