    New Build Help!

    d6PB99 - is the code for the pcpartpicker build I have. it wont let me link it since I am new here.

    I used the Modest Gamer Build guide on pcpartpicker and changed the case.

    CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
    CPU Cooler: None
    Motherboard: ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
    Memory: Kingston Fury Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
    SSD: PNY Optima 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
    Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
    Video Card: Asus Radeon R9 290 4GB DirectCU II Video Card
    Case: Corsair SPEC-01 RED ATX Mid Tower Case (I picked)
    Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
    Optical Drive:None

    Budget is Around $900
    Amazon Cart: $895.09
    Amazon Gift Card: -$70.00
    Total Cost: 825.09

    I would really appreciate suggestions on a cheap CPU Cooler/Optical Drive, as well as any comments. I'm not too sure if I need an SSD, so if I could save the money there that would be great, maybe put it more towards a GPU/CPU.

    I want to use it for mainly WoW, H1Z1, Diablo 3 for now. But I would like to play on High/Ultra on those games as well as maybe being able to fraps/stream occasionally. Any suggestions and help would be great. I am using Amazon because I will be using my Amazon card to purchase the parts. Again, i would really appreciate any help!

    you can really save the ssd but is a good investment so stick with it.
    optical drive anyone cheap will be good but stick to lg or asus if you can.
    you dont need a cpu cooler for a no k processor unless you live in a 40º + zone without air conditioner.
    if you can spent some extra bucks into a better cpu, i5 4670 or 4690 are top of the line of i5 series.

    Don't buy an aftermarket cpu cooler for now and if you can't handle the extra cost on hdd buy that a little later too. Stick to ssd only at start:
