Just want some feedback on the parts I'm looking at for this. This is my first build and I'm still pretty clueless. I want something for around $1,000 which I can build myself and will handle games for a few years to come.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My old PC is dead (I think I fried the CPU) and outdated by about 4 years.


Thanks to anyone replying, hope I've done this right. First time posting.

I have no idea if the parts I've chosen are good together. I've done some research and been reading reviews and stuff to pick those parts but still am kinda lost since this is my first build.
I wanna know if there's something else I should be getting instead or if these are compatible with each other etc.

Thanks again!

Since your processor has a locked multiplier and cant be overclocked you can use a cheaper motherboard with an H97 chipset

Would getting something overclockable like the i5-4670K (Seems like it's decent?) and keeping the Asrock motherboard be a viable idea? With a mind toward buying a liquid CPU cooler and overclocking sometime in the future? I wouldn't mind paying the extra $150 or so if it meant a little bit of extra future proofing. But would the gains had from purchasing a CPU that I could overclock and the Asrock motherboard be worth the extra $150 or is the difference so little that I'm just deluding myself?

Partpicker is estimating the wattage at 358w so I figure a 550w power supply would be enough with room to add on later maybe?

Sorry for the many questions, I really don't know that much about the difference between i5-4509 and i5-4670K or overclocking. The liquid coolers do look cool though which would add to the aesthetics of the build when added.

Also thanks for the reply and the advice so far!

For a No Overclocking build, I would go for something like this:

Overclocking isn't really needed but it may help you keep the cpu useful for a year more down the line. The i5 processors are pretty powerful to begin with so I don't think you would have any problems with the non-k versions. If you want to overclock then the i5-4690k is the new one out and is supposed to be a better OC CPU than the i5 4670k, that along with a Z97 motherboard like the Asrock Extreme 4 would work well.

Hey, just wanted to say thanks a lot for the help with my build, I've ordered my parts now and am eager to see how this goes!

I've used most of the parts suggested by numanator so cheers for that, really made everything much easier for me.
