    Building a new computer, please help!

    Hey guys, my friend and I are building a new computer and needed some advice...

    were aiming to build our computer ourselves rather than purchasing a pre-built one because from our understanding, people save a ton of money when they build it themselves.
    were going to be using this computer mainly for gaming, games such as Battlefield, Counter-strike, League of Legends, Skyrim, etc.

    Our budget is around $800.

    So far, this a build that we have come up with:

    Please critique our build and maybe tweak it a bit.

    Thanks!

    Consider going for the i5-4690K, the price difference is little while the performance is better especially if you're planning on overclocking

    go for i5 4690k with the msi gaming 5 - i am using that and it is very good, I am using the cooler master hyper 212 evo as well and getting like 28ish idle.also have the drive, seems to do the job. Power supply is also serving me well - have the exact same and it is doing the job. I suggest looking on cutting down and maybe going for a 970, if not get a 960 in my opinion, very good for 1080p gaming. I have got an msi gtx 970 and it is very, very good!

    pretty good build, i5 4690 if you don't overclock. i have one myself too and its a great processor but unfortunately, it can't be overclocked because its not the K version.

    Just make sure you get a good cooling system, my first tower was perfect other than the shitty fan :/
