Hey guys, I'm planning on buying these parts right now and assembling myself. I've done some a lot of research and after getting a recommendation to get a more well known brand of motherboard i've finalized my build. this is a budget build and i can't spend another dime. I think it's perfect for what i'm trying to do. just want to make sure there aren't any fatal flaws in this build. the motherboard should run haswell refresh out of the box from what i've heard and read.

Just changed the ram to a better series from G skill, and doubled your storage for the same price. I recommend if it's in budget going for the i3 4150 which is 100 dollars.

Thanks for the advice guys, i feel confident now in the purchase. i will look over my budget and determine if i can afford the i3. if not i'm still very happy with the g3258 single thread performance. i won't be playing too many modern games.

Here it is with the i3. It's just nice to future proof the rig with a hyper threaded cpu, but if your just playing older games and want to play some newer ones and don't expect crazy performance then the g3258 with be just fine too.
