Will this work as a good gaming pc on a budget? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Nugget712/saved/n4hFf7
Did I forget anything? It's more expensive then I would like, but I'm hoping i can stretch for it. AND hoping i didnt forget anything. Also is there a way to make this any cheaper?

You could get the i5 4460 to save a few bucks, Basically the same performance.

Also you have no PSU.

PSU is not the best and is overpriced. Change to XFX 550w unit.

I was really hoping to come in under $500 for my build, I will be playing on my 42" HDTV through HDMI so I don't really need a monitor, I have a G400s mouse already and a cheap keyboard that I can use until I upgrade that, like I just did my mouse. Also I was thinking the $500 did not have to include the OS.

I tried to come up with an AMD build thinking it would be cheaper, but I've always liked Intel, though TBH this laptop I am on now has lasted me the longest and it is actually AMD/ATI prebuilt laptop. I'm not a fanboi, I really don't mind going either way... with computers lol.(you've got a dirty mind! or is it just me lol).
Here's the AMD build, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YcXtLk , but tbh I haven't researched the stuff as much as I have for Intel, so I probably picked the wrong parts and it only came in about $100 cheaper. What MOBO can you get so you can upgrade AMD in the future?
Also I guess it wouldn't be so bad to go with G3258 or something and just upgrade in the near future to an i5 or i7? Is there an AMD route similar to that as well?

Sorry for all the questions, hope you guys can answer some of them.. and thanks in advance

No, we do not support, condone, or help with pirating or bypassing supercity at all. DO NOT bring it up again on this forum.

That motherboard will allow you to upgrade to an fx8350 if you want to in the future.
