$800 Intel i5 Budget Build

[1967Firebird326]

Hey my first post here at this great place, anyways on to the pc.

Now this is the first build for myself and I'm pretty sure I have a nice little rig.

Cpu Motherboard Combo: Intel i5-4670K, MSI Z87-G41 for 339.99
GPU: Radeon HD 7850 Video Card - 2GB Overclock for 139.99 after rebate 109.99
HDD: Western Digital Blue 500GB for 55.99
RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB DDR3 1600mhz for 50.00
CASE: Thermaltake VERSA G2 for 54.28
PSU: Antec Basiq VP450 for 38.00
Windows 7 64bit for 92.00

Not bad I think, It really comes out to about $762 but with shiping its right at $798.

i see you didn't include an aftermarket CPU cooler, this is a good move, it is not issential now, you can get it later. you will need it to get good OC results, OC carefully on the stock cooler.
you will need another 120mm case fan, make it intake on the front.
will you get another video card in the future? your PSU is ok for one card only (although amd recommends a 500W PSU) but you'll be ok with this one if you are not planning on a second card in the future.

regarding the rams, get another 4GB rams BEFORE getting a new CPU cooler. that is if you are not using the PC for heavy editing.

Ya, i will up the ram and cooler later, Im not into any video editing just to have a nice little rig to play bf3 etc etc.... with decent fps.

I got that psu knowing i need to upgrade later if i add a second card.
