That's a horribly balanced build. You're investing so much in an i7 and then the rest of the build really suffers. That power supply is really bad, and H61 is the lowest end chipset Intel offers and is meant for Pentium/i3 builds. On top of that you're planning to just pair it with the Intel HD graphics instead of a discrete GPU.

Well it'll work. Until the PSU explodes.

[GoDong-DK]

Why would you buy a i7 2600 and not buy a GPU? The PSU is shit, and I wouldn't invest in a LGA1155 when you buy such a CPU. Get an i3, a H61 motherboard and a GPU of some magnitude. Get a better PSU, like a CX430 V2 or an Enermax NAXN of some sort. I'll recommend the latter, as it'll provide more upgradeability, but the CX430 V2 is a bit more proved. Up to you.

At least step down to the 2500K, the 2600K is gonna be wasted for the most part, if your intent is to play games.

what the hell is this PC going to be used for, exactly?
