Building a budget PC.
Hello everyone--thanks for reading this!
I am going to be building a budget PC that can handle some nice graphics. I was looking at a lot of different options for my parts, and I am within a ~$1000 to ~$2000 budget.
How do you guys think these parts would handle, and do you think I should upgrade/downgrade anything? Thank you!
MB: Asus H97-PRO Gamer ATX LGA1150
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 with a quad-core
OS: Win 7 Home Premium
Monitor: Acer UM.WV6AA.B01 21 and 1/2 in.
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series 8 GB
Video card: Asus GeForce GTX 960 2GB
Storage: Sandisk Solid State Drive 128GB
I'd just use a power supply from my dozens of piles of old computers..
Anyways leave what you think below!
Once again, thank you!

Logical increments is a great place to get ideas and recommendations for building a pc that has value for what you are spending and can be upgraded and last a while.

Although this is a useful tool for people who know a lot about PCs, it can be a bit confusing for people who aren't sure what they want. It's a bit confusing too, to be honest.
Regardless of its usefulness, it's always much better to get a fresh build per request. Part prices change very often, therefore you can often get better deals if you get a part list directly from a person at the exact moment, instead of from a site that could be very out dated.
Also @Shad (dont care if you got your name changed to Murica, you'll always be TheShadbusher in my heart <3 )
I'm sorry, would you like me to delete my advice to make you feel special-er? Lol

You might want to re-think using a PSU from an old computer. It's often overlooked, but the power supply is one of, if not the most important things in your computer. If as little as one thing goes wrong with it, it could cost you hundreds (or thousands) of dollars.
Considering power supplies are relatively cheap these days, I highly suggest you get a new one with your new build.

What kind of games do you plan on playing? Graphically-intense AAA titles? Minecraft? Microsoft 3D Pinball? Also do you plan on editing photos and video?
