CPU had to be from BestBuy :( I tried to locate the i5 4460 that was recommended by rockie_ but it is not available, it is too much difference between 4430 and 4460? Mostly plan to use the build for gaming
 

No, there isn't much difference between those Intel Core i5's recommended and the first one you selected... differences are from a 4% to 7% increase in speed, and that wouldn't be noticeable under normal conditions... probably only in the benchmarks and just by these small differences. So if you can find the 4460 great... and if not, no big deal.

Intel Core i5-4430 @ 3.00GHz 6303 $189.98
Intel Core i5-4440 @ 3.10GHz 6483 $194.99
Intel Core i5-4460 @ 3.20GHz 6749 $189.99
