Hello!

I'm looking to make a gaming desktop. Budget is around 1k+(exclude OS, monitor). I've been looking at price lists for the parts from a few of the shops(tradepac,fuwell, best buy etc etc) and I was wondering if I can get any advice if it's a viable setup or not. Oh right, and I'm not intending to Overclock.

Here goes:
MB+Intel LGA1150: ASROCK B85M-PRO4 + i5- 4570
RAM: KINGSTON 4 GB DDR3 PC12800 1600MHz x2
GPU: P.COLOR HD7950 3GB BOOST/MSI R7950 3GB DDR5 2PMD3GD5/OC
HDD: WD 1TB BLUE 64MB SATA3 7200RPM
DVDRW: SAMSUNG 24X OEM
Chasis: Thermaltake Commander MS-I
PSU: CM GX550W 80+

Any kind advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Can consider changing your psu to FSP Platinum 550W @ $139 or if it is out of your budget, PC Themes has a bundle promo for TT Commander MS-I & Seasonic S12 520W @ $140.

Thanks for the input @Nippp0n!

Will the wattage cause any issue?

Will changing the PSU+Casing to Cooler Master 431 + FSP Raider 550w(PC Theme bundle@$143) be better?
