What parts should I add or replace?

[thebluebumblebee]

No , no i5 4460

Actually, if the OP is looking for $20, the i5-4460 has always been the CPU that gets the job done without all the fanfare.

i mean future proof . When he gets a faster video card in 2 years , he could keep i5 4590 without losing noticeable performance

If you can show me a GPU test where 10% CPU difference made a difference, I'd like to see it.

This build will run games at HQ with good frame rate? Its in a really good price range

At this price point, what you should be looking for is acceptable quality/features with acceptable frame rates. An i5-4590 with a GTX 950 at 1080P will do just that. If you want higher quality with more features, you're going to have to move up to a GTX 970 or R9 390 or better. That's why I suggested used. Buy something for $100 now and maybe pick up a used GTX 970 this fall when prices should plummet with the release of Pascal.

First off, core clocks can help in extreme CPU dependant scenarios but it is not a deciding factor. The CPU's today in most cases are overkill even overclocked at this point. Higher clocks are nicer but if his budget is a tiny bit constrained then a drop of a couple hundred megahertz isn't going to make a real difference unlike higher video cards (Least on Intel Processors because of their high IPC).

HD 7870 - 8280 points 3D Mark 11
GTX 950 - 8660

And? In games they are neck and neck but that's irrelevant. You can make a claim all you want about the parts being better or comparable to the PS4, however those things do not translate to real world. If it was then ports like Arkham Knight would not exist.

PS 4 has GPU slower than HD 7870 . People do compare their rigs to PS 4 , to predict how future proof the rig is .

That makes no sense, comparing specs to a console means nothing in the PC world especially down the road. Parts fall off in performance, PC games get different optimization's, GPU's get different optimizations, etc. If it was that simple, people would keep video cards for 6+ years because of console life spans.

Either way, point is when maximizing budget you can make consolations at certain spots to get the most out of it. The i5 4460 can be one that makes a negligible difference while grabbing the higher video card will actually make a noticeable difference in the performance.

That would make a nice gaming rig right there! Don't forget a copy of Windows, as pointed out by @64K earlier.

Only one recommendation is to get the WD ezex 1tb instead of the seagate , other than that its a really good build , if money allow it jump to higher quality PSU

Is the power supply enough ?

 

[little cat]

Is the power supply enough ?

If it wasnt , i wouldnt have put it in . EVGA 500W B is a good average quality PSU

i5 4590 -84W
R9 380 - 190W
other 100W
-----
374W roughly , pcpartpicker says 363W

EVGA 500W B has 40A on + 12V rail or 480W alse two 6+2 pin power connectors

 

[GhostRyder]

Is the power supply enough ?

Even on high overclocks on the normal gaming systems (Like i7 6700K or similar from different lineups) you can handle the highest single GPU card with a 500watt power supply in most cases (Some with overclocking the card are safer with a 550watt). So in your case, that is way more than enough.

Do you think this monitor is a good start ? For what I'm building

 

[JATownes]

I used to use an Asus almost just like that (VH222). It's been a great monitor for over 5 years and my wife is still using it today. In my opinion the pixel pitch on the 1920x1080 21.5" makes it look sharper than the 1920x1080 24" monitors.

I live in Europe

i added another monitor .

That's a nice monitor, and is an IPS too. Good find.

Most manufacturers, you just mail in a form and the UPC proof of purchase by a certain postmarked date.

@JATownes single input, vga. Unsure if I like that, seems like the only con. I like the Asus a little better, great find @little cat .

 

[GhostRyder]

Yea, looks fine and I have seen plenty of people order it and are happy.

It all depends on how much you want to spend on a monitor and what you want in one as there are tons of choices out there but that one is pretty decent.

@JATownes single input, vga. Unsure if I like that, seems like the only con. I like the Asus a little better, great find @little cat .

Good catch! Didn't even see that, single vga input would be a deal breaker imo.

I wanted to switch cases cause I read some reviews on the last one but here's this one I just want to know if its compatible

With your build? Yea, its a standard ATX case. I don't see anything that stands out to cause a problem.
