Hello, I am making my first PC build. I am building a budget gaming computer to play games on 720p with high settings. The problem is, I'm a newbie when it comes to hardware, so I was wondering if there would be any problems with the interactions between the parts I chose . Here are the parts I'm using:
MOTHERBOARD
GIGABYTE GA-B85M-D3H
GRAPHICS CARD
]ASUS GTX750TI 2048MB-128BITS-GDDR5 (GTX750TI-OC-2GD5)
PROCESSOR
INTEL CORE I3 4160
RAM
KINGSTON HYPERX 8GB 1600 BUS DDR 3
HARD DRIVE
SEAGATE 1TB SATA 64MB CACHE 3.5"
POWERSUPPLY
EVGA 500 WATT
CASING
CORSAIR CARBIDE 100R (CC-9011075-WW) COMPACT ATX CASE
As I said before, this is my first build, so any kind of help/advice is hugely appreciated. Thanks.
 
I assume no overclocking... parts will be compatible. Can you stretch your budget to a gtx 960? Otherwise, looks good.
 
At 720p, that build should be fine. The 960 would be better, but I think your resolution will be the limiting factor here.

A 960 is more future proof, though, so that's the way I would go.
