If you don't plan on upgrading further, this is a good build for around your budget. If you will upgrade further I can put together a Pentium G3258 build that you can upgrade to an i5 Broadwell later on.

Hi This one seems pretty good. I will have to swap a few parts cause I live in Australia and have to use different stores. Thanks
