I would upgrade the GPU to something higher such as a GTX 550 so you can play games at a better FPS. But other than that, it looks like a very good build.

Why just a i5 1155? If anything you want a Intei i5 2500k .. To go with that I wouldn't go for anything less.

I think he is getting confused.

There is no such thing as a i5 1155k, the number 1155 refers to the socket that the processor is.

He probably means the 2500k, as it is the only 'k' processor in the i5 range.

The GTS 450 is a great card when on a budget, but I wouldn't recommend it over a card like the 6850, which isn't too much more expensive.

Change the graphics card if you planning to play more intensive games at higher resolutions, but other than that, it is a great build.
