PSU: Corsair CX500 80bronze 500W

So drop down to 8Gb of ram, get a b85 or h97 board as you have no need of the overclocking features since the 4460 is a locked cpu. Use the money saved on a quality PSU as the PSU is a very important part.

I would only get 8 gigs of ram rn. Maybe use the other money to at least get a 960 or a bigger and better PSU, cuz youll have to upgrade that in the future if you get a better GPU. And i wouldnt get a 980. They arent very good price to performance cards. I would get a R9 390, just my thoughts tho.
