Terrible for gaming since you it's very unbalanced you should decide to build your own and get something which will run games decently because a 750ti is very low end.

That's a ridiculously unbalanced build. Build one yourself and get the most out of your money!

My budget is only about $900 so i cant get anything too fancy. How could i make it more balanced without exceeding my money limit?

Go custom, $900 is a decent budget

You can sometimes find nice "barebones" deals on Newegg and TigerDirect. They generally need a HDD (or SSD), a Graphics Card and a few other things. The barebones can be between $400-$700, but do your research on the parts, some parts will be good, while others may not be as good. But the thing is, you usually can upgrade things later on, such as your Power Supply or something like that. And if you plan to get a PC to overclock, get a liquid cooling system.

If you can wait for a little bit, and potentially raise your budget, I would go complete custom. You might still be able to do so if you get a lower-end Graphics Card, Power Supply, or Liquid Cooling System. I would recommend going ahead and getting a nice graphics card (GPU) if you can, and get low-end liquid cooling for now (yes, this means you might not be able to overclock very high, or at all, but you can easily replace this in the future)

But as for the build you have shown, an i7 CPU is nice, but keep in mind that if you want to overclock, you'll need a 4770k. A 500-watt PSU is probably not enough, especially if you're going to be playing modern, intensive games that are going to pull quite a bit of power. Your RAM is fine as of now, most games don't utilize more than that as of now, and you can always upgrade in the future. A terabyte HDD is nice, and 7200rpm is the best way to go (later on you can think about getting an SSD for incredible game and OS-loading times). The Z87-K is good, but keep up with the GPU you're going to use. (I see you have an AMD card listed, that's great, but it's rather low-end. I would suggest an R9 280x or 290x, but neither will fit your budget, most likely. But eventually you can get another 270 and crossfire them since the Z87-K is crosfire-capable)

---

I have a Z87-K myself, and it does not support 4-way optimization from AI Suite III (I'm glad it doesn't, a manual overclock is better, in my opinion. It also doesn't support SLI (the NVidia version of crossfiring, which is using more than one GPU at once). But I am an NVidia supporter, so the next card will be the GTX 780ti because the TITAN is far too overkill for anything right now. Also, keep in mind you have an i7 CPU listed. It does not have 8 cores as most think. It has four cores, while each core has two threads (i5's have one thread per core)

What happened to my nice custom for $900? he doesn't need to spend any more than that for a great PC.
And may I add that the R9 270 is not a low end card, it is more of a mid range card. It has great performance for the price and is an all round great card for any home enthusiast.

I'm sorry that I did not look at that!
My build was $1200 but could be better.

It's all about preference, but with preference, it has to balance so that bottlenecking isn't an issue. It seems that your build is perfectly fine to suit him. I'm just an intel guy myself
