Hey, I'm planning to build a new computer next month and I'm thinking about spend 850$ max on this computer. Currently, I picked some components by myself. Is it good or bad? What can I change to make it better ?

CPU: Intel i5-4460 3.2 Ghz ($189.99)
Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 ($45.99)
VGA: GTX 1070 ($429.99 - 449.99) *Price might drop when I buy this in August
RAM: Team Dark 16gb (2x8gb) ddr3 1600 ($49.99)
HD: WD 1TB ($49.99)
PSU: EVGA 600W 80 plus bronze ($49.99)
Case: Deepcool Tesseract SW ($39.99)

Total = $853 - 873

Is it any good? What change would you recommend me to decrease the price? I plan to play CS:GO, GTA 5 and Battlefield 4 on this desktop.

In the beginning I will be using a 1440x900 (a dell e1913c to be precise). But I have a change to upgrade to a 1920 x 1080‎ in the future.

Thanks for the reply, the price is a little too much for me in the moment. I can spend 850-870 max on it right now.

I'd go with this then
 
The GTX 1070 is way overkill even for a 1080p monitor .
A more practical build might be something li8ke this
