Hey, so Im starting a new build, first time :p and I HAD a budget to try and keep under $500 Tha I realized that thats not a very good budget... So Now its $650.
This is my build - http://pcpartpicker.com/user/xXNahNahXx/saved/22Q0
I dont play games that require and amzing gpu, just things like LoL and Minecraft, and I run a minecraft server that requires a bit more than my i3 and 6gigs of ram. Is their anything I can add or remove to this build to improve it AND keep it under $650?
Thanks!

Corsair PSU. Oh, and unless you want a minecraft server and or client using all 8 cores of the 8350 using JVM arguments, you will want to with a i5 4670 (or k version if you want to overclock). You want two sticks of ddr3 ram for better performance. And PFFT! That motherboard is too expensive.
