I'm building a home PC/ medium end gaming machine. I have a budget of around $600 for the remaining parts I need, so I feel pretty good about what I have.

Here's what I plan on getting: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ZHXZL
NOT LISTED THAT I ALREADY HAVE: 1TB WD Blue HDD + GTX 750 TI SC

*Note* The MOBO, Ram, and CPU are in a combo deal that takes off like $25

Let me know what you think!

Thanks!

Case did not support USB 3.0 front headers as it only has USB 2.0 and the CX PSU has poor capacitors.

Now I know I gave you a Dual Core, but I use the weaker I3-4130 Dual Core processor and it can handle any game I throw at it. The 4360 is waaay better than mine so you're good :)

As well, Intel Cores run alot cooler than AMD cores :p.

I would change out the case as it doesn't have USB 3.0 Headers.
