Hi,

First of all, this is the first time I've ever registered here but this forum is my bible for all things PC and has saved my bacon too many times to count so thank you all for that in advance.

On to my main point: I'm considering my first PC build this Christmas and I would really appreciate if someone would please look over my parts list and tell me if I'm missing anything, or if there's any way this build should be improved.

I'm aiming for gaming at high-ultra settings, 60fps, 1080p. No overclocking.

Advice?


CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB Video Card
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU:SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Thanks for the input. You're right that pcpartpicker says "The Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 390mm long, but video cards over 270mm may block drive bays. Since the MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB Video Card is 277mm long, some drive bays may not be usable", but as I'm only using 1 SSD, I don't think this is an issue because I can remove one of the 3.5" HDD bays.

pcpartpicker also says "ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports", but I'm looking at that case on Newegg, and it says "front ports: 1x USB 3.0". Am I missing something here?

Looking over the specs, I'm happy that:
1. pcpartpicker actually doesn't have the newest model with a front USB.
2. The 270mm limit is without removing the 3.5" hard drive bay which I don't need.

I appreciate your help on this and I think I'm ready to go.
