Hey there,
I was hoping someone could take a look at these specs and tell me what you think:
Intel Core i5 @ 3.3GHz
4 GB Kingmax DDR3 RAM (2x2GB)
GeForce GTX 2GB DDR5
40 GB Intel SSD
500 GB Western Digital HDD
MSI P67A-C45 Motherboard
Some random Cooler Master case
Corsair 550W PSU
The Computer is about 3 years old now.
Thanks,

Alright, fair enough. I’ll admit I wasn't being clear enough there—I figured what I was thinking would just make sense on its own. In my head, I was thinking $6500 +/- $33, not "10% more." 😁
Anyway, thanks to everyone who jumped in to help out.
Realistically though, is this CPU going to hold up for gaming over the next 2 or 3 years? If it can handle things, I don't plan on touching it, so I might just stick with this motherboard.
I’ve been scouring various forums and tech sites trying to piece together a build that’ll handle most gaming tasks, so I figured I'd run it by you guys to see what you think.
1 x Intel Core i5-4460 soc 1150
1 x Nvidia GeForce GTX 970
1 x Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H,1150,iB85,D3,S3,U3,DVI,mA
1 x Crucial Module 8GB,
1 x Fractal Integra M 450W, 80+ BRONZE modular
1 x Zalman Z3
For storage, I'm thinking a 250 GB SSD, and I definitely don't need an optical drive.
Does this look solid to you? Am I cutting it too close with the power supply—should I be looking at something 500W or higher, or will this setup hold up? Also, is this motherboard any good?
I'm not looking to overclock anything, and honestly, I couldn't care less about aesthetics or how quiet it runs. My budget is sitting right around $2167, and I just want to squeeze every last drop of performance out of my money.
