esromf :

Shadow reaper is right, the i3 beats an FX in most games.

LucoTF · Mar 12, 2015

esromf :

The i5 comes with a cooler in the box

esromf · Mar 14, 2015

is it good enough though

esromf · Mar 15, 2015

how about the power supply though?

esromf :

D'oh! well spotted

This is the minimum I'd recommend: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b10500kr

$45 with $10 MIR. If you can spend a little more then this a better quality PSU: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

$54 with $10 MIR

PSU added + a couple of tweaks:

This is just under $800 afer rebates. If you can spend an extra $30 then I would swap the 2gb R9 270 for a 3gb R9 280:
