Hi, guys.

I need help in building a rig for my friend. His budget is under $500. Here are the specs:

Processor: INTEL CORE I3-4150
Motherboard: ASROCK H81M-VG4
RAM: GSKILL AEGIS 4GB DDR3 1600mhz
PSU: FSP HEXA+ 450W
Chassis: COOLERMASTER Elite 343 (MATX)
HDD: WD 1TB Caviar Blue 7200RPM/64MB
Monitor: BENQ 24" GL2450

Let me know if they work. I'm no expert. Or do I use AMD processor and motherboard?
