Any Improvements?
Liked it all, until I saw Windows 8.1. Is 430W enough? I would have gone for at least 500W.
430w should be enough for a GTX 750, but it will restrict you on future upgrades. I'd look at the getting the Athlon X4 860k over the 760k as it is newer and more powerful. It also might be worthwhile looking at the Pentium G3258 as it has an unlocked multiplier.
What do you think of EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Power Supply Unit as a replacement?
Actually 430w is plenty for current configuration
Have a look at this ... better CPU -- better ram --- better GPU ... about the same cost

- Estimated Wattage:..... 334W
Mhm, I think I like the one I have at the moment as I prefer the specs although the ones you recommended may be better. I may consider the Athlon X4 860k as it looks quite good and is not to much more expensive.
Plenty for a 760k and GTX 750.
Try getting an R9 270 in there - much better performer for the money.
^^^ as I posted above ^^^
the 860k has better OC potential
I chose the AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor over the 760k and i will check out the R9 270
Changed my mind again back to the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 2GB FTW
nu the r9 270 is my final choice!
Here, I compiled a pcpartpicker for your current build.

good choice lol
Right thanks some tech noob, the only thing i change was that i went for the 1x8gb stick so i can upgrade to 16gb RAM at some point
Ah, that will work just fine.
