Hey, this is my build. I choose AMD over Intel because well as you can see, this is a budget build.

I honestly need help seeing if this is right, I used to have a 700$ build but then I was like, I can make it way cheaper and better! So I did. This is my old build.

I'd really like some feedback.

Read this : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-o...
CPU Hierarchy from Tom's hardware![]()
As you can see there's no AMD CPus in the Top tier , Intel has owned this department since 2012 .
I5-4460 isn't in the chart but its based on the 4430 chip and clocked slightly higher.

The 270 and the 270X are the same thing but one is more money.

They aren't the same thing , you can overclock the 270 to reach 270x stock levels but yet again you can overclock the 270x to lead the race.
Also there's a chance that you get a chip that doesn't oc well.
Benchmarks don't lie :

The 270X is about 5-10% in most cases with 8% being the most common , The XFX 270X costs less than the MSI 270.
