I'm not looking for the best gaming rig, just want something that can run well and is under $400. If anyone can recommend some other parts, or builds that would be great. If not, then I just want to make sure that these parts are compatible with eachother. Thanks.

I agree with Jaslion, but if you can't wait to get an upgrade, you could always do that i3 thing and later down the road upgrade to a better GPU, the 250X is okay for gaming if you're not too demanding.

That indeed is a very fancy system, tho if you have 400$ I'd recommend for you to bump up the CPU a bit...

that'd be roughly about 370$ and you'd still get a little bit more out of your money.

If not, then I'd say you're pretty much done with that, if you don't want to upgrade in a near future I'd say drop a couple more for the i3 and you'll be set.

Thanks for the replies, I'm pretty much debating whether to wait and save a l'il bit more, but to be honest that would be till next year and I don't really want to wait that long. I don't really do any hard gaming, mostly LoL and I don't mind playing on low graphics it doesn't make a big impact for me.

Just wait a bit i waited 6 months longer and suddenly the build i wanted (that i didn't have the money for) was a lot cheaper and that allowed me to get an hd 7870 instead off an hd 7850 and an amd fx 8320 instead off an fx 6300 so just wait a little and when you reach 500$ + post a new build and we can then adjust it to be the best build for the budget.

Exactly, but when he upgrades his GPU it's going to massively boost the performance due to the i3's 4 threads and high IPC. So I'd still recommend for him to go i3.
