This is a build, I've just come back down too. I don't need overkill, I'm not a hardcore gamer anymore. A dual core i3 with hyper threading is plenty enough paired with a 750 Ti. Consider this build compared to an AMD of equal price and the performance will be better.

I've came down to earth with this build.

You can probably save some money with the ram:

You could also consider maybe getting a r7 260x, r7 265, or r7 270, if budget allows. They are stronger cards.

Get the full version of windows 8.1. It can save you headaches if anything were to happen to your hard drive or if you decide to upgrade anything in the future.
