Hello! I was just wondering if this was a good starter gaming rig since I am on a budget. I want to play games like Minecraft, BF3, League of Legends, and maybe crysis 3. I know there is a way to list all the parts but i just dont remember so here is the link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ycWYmG
Is this a good starter gaming rig?

lol, don't mind him, i would say your build is fine for what you want it for, a starter build, but not sure if it justifies 600~ dollars because of the graphics card. the only thing i would change in your build is a better graphics card if you want to play on better graphics settings.
also, asrock? come on now, that's so not reliable.

Personally I think my build or Tech's build will give you huge advantage over what you've chosen. BTW MSI's mobo are very hit or miss and most of them turn to be faulty anyways its your money and its up to you whether you want to get the most bang for your buck with ability to upgrade to an I5 later with an already better GPU or Have to throw your rig two years later. Your call
