do you need a HDD? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104292 is a good ram kit

 

[croman_19]

somekidxd That would be $100 more than I have.

nagol567 I have read that 1.65v isn't as good as 1.5v for i5-2400

croman, you are correct. build looks good to me. 4GB is enough for gaming as well. stick with the z68 board that you have chosen.

I'm not too fond of the corsair builder and gamer series, but it fits your budget and won't destroy your build like some other very cheap PSU's will

Thanks. I forgot to ask in my main post but I saw on the reviews for my gpu people said it takes two external power connectors but I wasn't sure what to look for on power supplies to see if they would work are they the 6+2 pin or what?

Sorry is this seems like a stupid question but I just don't know.

IMO, going cheap in some areas to get say a better video card is pretty pointless and will make future upgrades incredibly difficult. I'm not a fan of cutting corners anywhere, and the Asrock motherboard is more than capable of what the OP needs it to do.

Pretty much all PSUs right now will include a +-24 pin power connector and a +-8 pin voltage connector.

from: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3836#ov

Minimum 500W or greater system power supply with two 6-pin external power connectors

you listed PSU: PCI-Express Connector 2 x 6+2-Pin

Your PSU can handle your GPU
