I'm still an upstart, and I want to know whether this setup I've put together will bottleneck anywhere particularly. If so; where and why? Any tips on spotting bottlenecks in the future would be helpful as well. Thx in advance. I already have a disk drive and hard drive for use with the build so they aren't on there, im sure the wattage of those two are near negligible, but i will make sure im not too close to the ceiling https://pcpartpicker.com/user/scarabking117/saved/LdJp9...

Your build is reasonable, but, here are my thoughts.

1. Dump the psu. Apevia is a tier 5(not recommended, replace asap) unit on this list.

Corsair CX500 is not the best, but it is cheaper and better.

On a different tack, Will you ever be wanting to upgrade this rig?

If you do, you are facing a upgrade to the cpu, motherboard, psu and graphics card.
Not much can be kept, is there?

First, buy a quality psu in the 600-650w range. that will run any future single graphics card out there. Even a GTX980.
I would pick this Seasonic 620w:

On the cpu side, the $70 G3258 when overclocked is a very strong gamer.
Read this article:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pentium-g3258-b81-c...
The B81 motherboard used will support a very strong intel quad for a future upgrade.

Your build list did not include a price for a R9-270 card.
Do you already have one, or will you be buying a graphics card.
If funds are short, the G3258 can play non shooter type games using integrated graphics.

The reason i bumped it up from the apevia 500w i had before was that the mobo had 4 sata ports and the 520 comes with 4 cables and the 500 didn't. and ya the R9-270 went off the market the other day, it was on for like a day xD. idk whats up with that, if that goes down when i actually do buy the parts i would either buy a gtx 660, or a radeon hd 7850.

Since it's my first build and i dont have money of my own to pay for it since im in college and a job would really kick me in the ass, im trying to keep the price low so my parents would consider helping me with getting parts :3

The mobo, psu, and cpu originated from a pre-built i saw on ebay; i wanted to see if what it'd cost if i just bought similar parts and then i got super into it and this is what came of it.

I just want to say I have a Sapphire Dual-X R9 270 and I'm pleased with it's performance, no game has yet to conquer the mighty Sapphire! (Except for Unturned, that game was coded so badly!)

A prime example of a twelve year old on forums way out of his understanding.
Firstly, Unturned is nothing at ALL like Minecraft, it's Rust multiplied by DayZ.
Secondly, the game was coded badly and the maxed out graphics get a few frames/second. (The texture colours are horrible too, I would never play it again until it gets a massive rework)

You do realize that I can run that game but it has to have low settings.

It is just like DayZ, full-stop, it's nothing like Minecraft.
PM me ONE aspect from Unturned which is like Minecraft, I've played DayZ and Minecraft, it has the same items as DayZ and crafting from Rust.
