First Own Build PC [Advice needed]

Hello guys, as the title says I'm building my first ever PC.
I have already selected the parts but I'm not a that that good at selecting parts so I'm going to post what parts I have chosen and you guys can give me advice if something should be replaced, removed or added.
My budget is around $575-$670 and my current parts are a total of $668 (American Dollars)

The currently picked parts are the following:

Case: CM Storm Scout II Advanced Gaming Black
PSU: Crosair VS 650, 650W PSU
Mother Board: ASUS B85M-G, Socket-1150
Processor: Intel Pentium G3250, Socket-LGA1150
Mem/RAM: HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz 8GB Black
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
GPU: ASUS GeForce STRIX GTX 750Ti 2GB PhysX

I'll use the computer for gaming.
It doesn't have to be the best computer, but I would love to be able to play new games on Medium settings

Comes out to ~$604, but shop around and you will find the same/comparable parts cheaper elsewhere to knock that down.

+ Case of your choice, since it depends on your aesthetic preferences.


You are getting a a substantially better processor, a more powerful graphics card and a more reliable hard drive. The only other obvious place to get a bit extra would be if you can squeeze an SSD into your budget instead/as well as your hard drive.

Okay, I will check it out
But I will have to get it from another website as I'm from Sweden

Do you have a website you are buying from, and how much Krona do you have to spend?

I'm trying to buy everything from Komplett.se and my limit is 5000 - 6000 Kr (Kronor)
I can buy from different websites too but I would hope staying on Komplett.se and Cdon.se

A couple things to point out in this build.

1. An R9 380 minimum psu recommendation is 550 watts. So would upgrade to a cx600.
2. You picked a socket 1151 cpu with a socket 1150 motherboard. They aren't compatible and won't work.

Just wondering, the parts I have selected would they work together if I would go for them? :3

I would definitely go quad core processor if your going to be gaming. I5 4460 3.2 ghz quad core cpu.

2. Oops my bad, I linked the wrong CPU. Schoolboy error . +1 on the 4460, or based on the build I put above, if overclocking is a possibility in the future, take a 4690K, it is still within budget

1. Recommended yes, but not required. A 380 under load is using ~200-W, an i5 4460 ~120W. Add in the other components and peripherals and you still only be around 400-450W max. 500 would be fine, the recommendation takes into account that most computers have POS power supplies in them so will be recommending over the actual draw. That being said though, there is spare budget, and the price bump to a CX600 is not that great so for overhead for future upgrades it is an option
