    Last minute look over on build before i start ordering

    Given this is my first computer build, just looking for some reassurance that everything looks like it will all work essentially. Can't really afford an SSD atm so thats why i didn't include one.

    Assuming you're not planning on overclocking?

    Updated RAM to 2133 Mhz and swapped out the PSU for gold standard that is more in line with the wattage your build needs. Both lowered the price a bit.

    You want an i5 4690k there. No reason to get for 2133Mhz, cas is more but the 1866 is faster. Changed the psu, its seasonic oem and cheaper. Added a good aftermarket cpu cooler for you to overclock when you want and your ssd, removed od. Sum around the same:
