Hi all, I want to build a PC that will sit under my living room TV and primarily act as a Roku, cable box, and gaming console replacement. I'm trying to get it done for ~$500-600 (already have OS) and have come up with this so far:
i3-4340 3.6GHz CPU $130
GA-B85M-D3H LGA 1150 mATX $80
CPU/Mobo combo discount $-30
8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM $65
XFX Core Edition 650W $50
PNY GeForce GTX 760 VCGGTX7602XPB-OC 2GB $200
WD 1TB HDD $60
Compucase Vigilance $30
TOTAL $585
My main question of whether or not there is any major bottlenecking, or if one part exceeds another for gaming. I understand that the i3 is only dual core and some games make use of 4 cores, but then I'd need to pour $100 into that and take $100 from something else (i.e. cheaper PSU or GPU).
Thanks!
