i am planning to build a new pc for the first time and just wanted to know from you guys if there is any incompatibility or bottlenecks in my pc build.
It's a very very tight budget pc
Components:
CPU: i7 4790k
CPU cooler: intel stock cooler
Motherboard: MSI H81m-e33
Memory:Hyperx fury 16gb(2x8gb) ddr3
Storage:Seagate - Barracuda ST3500413AS 500gb
Case:Intex Neptune(it's a very ancient one)
PSU:Zebronics 450W smps
OS:Windows 7 Professional 64bit

Planning to add Samsung 850 evo 250gb ssd and a gigabyte gtx 1060 g1 gaming later on.

Please Help!!

PSU is very very poor , wouldn't trust it and make sure ram is 1600mhz.

Pcbuilder78687 · May 6, 2017

yeah but i'm planning to upgrade my psu after 6 months. and i'm sure that my pc wont burst until that time right?

Dark Lord of Tech · May 6, 2017

Zebronics power supplies are risky to even run , but that's up to you.

For what do you need that i7 4790K?

Pcbuilder78687 · May 7, 2017

I just want to learn video editing on adobe programs an do a little gaming too i think.

Pcbuilder78687 · May 7, 2017

And about that PSU can you suggest me good one but with a very tight budget

Why not look at AMD's Ryzen series,the 1600(X) or even the 1500X with a nice motherboard? Much cheaper.

As cheap as i'd like to go for a psu,

still haven't found info about EVGA's new B3 series,but also pretty cheap,

Thanks for all the replies man...appreciate it alot but the problem is that i have already bought the cpu, ram and mobo and just wanted to take y'all's opinion on my other parts for my pc. And for the psu's you suggested (thnx for it btw) is there any cheaper alternative for that?

Vic 40 · May 7, 2017

You have nice and expensive parts,you want a good psu for that,so no nothing cheaper that i will recommend.

Pcbuilder78687 · May 7, 2017

okay thanks man.

Pcbuilder78687 · May 7, 2017

I just had a little doubt that is there any difference between smps and a psu, and if there is what is it?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Pcbuilder78687 : "H81 motherboards with haswell refresh?"

Pcbuilder78687 :

If it comes with an older bios then there's nothing you can do as that board doesn't support updating the bios without posting which requires a compatible cpu.

Dark Lord of Tech · May 7, 2017

7817v65.zip is the BIOS IT NEEDS to be if not it won't boot.

Pcbuilder78687 · May 8, 2017

Well it's 2017 and haswell refresh came back in like 2014 so..... what are the chances of it having an older bios.

adiec · May 8, 2017

Pcbuilder78687 :

it depends on what date the motherboard was manufactured . it could have been sat in a dusty warehouse for years untouched with the original bios

Vic 40 · May 8, 2017

Just look and see what happens ...

The above is true though.

Pcbuilder78687 :

these are btw names used for the same thing.

please check for any compatibility issues or bottlenecks in my pc
