tiny voices Titan Sep 6, 2012 34,175 5 99,965 Mar 21, 2014 #4 My build would perform much better. The GPU in mine is FAR superior. An i3 is fine but it will hold you back in games coded for more than 2 cores like BF4. That cx430 PSU is fine but if you ever upgrade the GPU it will have to be replaced as it is too low wattage for a mid-high end card. Upvote 0 Downvote
