Hi guys, please advice me on my build below:

CPU: i5-4690
Mobo: MSI B85-G43 Gaming
GPU: Palit GTX 760 Jetstream 2GB GDDR5
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128gb sata
RAM: Gskill RipjawsX 8GB Dual 1600 CL9 (2x4gb)
Screen: AOC e970Swn 18.5″ Led Monitor

Will the stock cooler work for i5-4690 without OC? I will be using this for gaming, and I have no experience in OC. Please advice me if this build is okay, or recommend me with another build. Thanks!

The rig seems fine and should be able to play games like Battlefield 4 on Ultra at at least 60+Frames.

But maybe a internal 1TB hard drive would be good.

@Joeteoh99 thanks for giving me a gauge

@morgan payne i like the GigaByte G1.Sniper B5 suggestion since i won't be using sli or crossfire. but i'm wondering about the video card. Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB Vapor-X Video Card or GeForce GTX 760 Palit JetStream 2GB ? why radeon? thanks!

If you won't be doing sli nor playing on multiple screens. A 650 or 700 watts would work fine.

Yes it will work. You will anyhow not be able to overclock with that cpu and that mobo.

the radeon is a better card than the gtx 760
as you can see here http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-280X-vs-GeForce-GTX-7...
it is not much different but is a more powerful card so better gaming for you
And With the GigaByte G1.Sniper B5 you can not OC the cpu
and yes the stock cooler will be able to handle the cpu heat unless you want to OC
if you want to OC you will need a i5-4590K chip and a good cpu cooler (hyper evo 212) and a different Motherboard
here is a build if you do not want to OC http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zbzVmG
If you want to OC this would be good http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4GzVmG
