Hi i was wondering what people think of the custom computer i (will) build if 1: I get enough money (Yes I do not have very much money and anyway i am 14) 2: If I recive people saying it is a good build. All I want is peoples speculations on this and what I should change and what i should add. I used the site pcpartpicker.com to compare and see if it was all compatible. All of this hardware is compatible with each other. So please just tell me what you think and what I should do with it. By the way this is supposed to be for a low budget gaming pc

-Thanks

It's a good PC, but the performance might not be as good depending on the games you play. For new intensive games (Ex: The Witcher, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed) this won't be able to handle it. But for less intensive games like League of Legends or World of Warcraft, it should be fine. For those more intensive games I would recommend at least a GTX 960, but a GTX 970 is the best bang-for-your-buck GPU on the market right now.

Thanks for the advice. I dont think I would be going onto many intense graphics needing games. I would consider changing it if I do decide to get more intensive games. Thanks anyways!

Quick question: will you be overclocking? If not, you could probably get a cheaper motherboard and get a better GPU for a better gaming experience.
To be honest, at that budget range, I would recommend a fx8320 with a pretty beefy gpu, which would handle your demands quite easily.
OR you could save up maybe $100 more and get a i5-4460, with a decent motherboard for maybe $70-ish, and grab a 960/380.

His budget needs to include windows. Therefore, I propose 8gb of ram and using stock cooler. But otherwise your build is splendid. Was not aware non-k 6th gen i5s were that cheap.

Why insist on hyper 212? Intel stock cooler is capable enough for non-k cpus.
@OP : You can save $30 by not buying the Hyper 212.

Also, wouldn't 2x4 be better than 1x8?

I'm just insisting on the hyper 212 because of my reliance on non-stock coolers...so many bad things have happened when I use stock coolers.

However, the stock cooler is very capable and a non-stock one is not needed, at all. (This is more directed towards OP)

Also, I added the 1x8 gb because it allows for more upgrades in the future if OP finds 8 gigs isn't enough. If you had 2x4, add 2 more 4 gig sticks, then all your slots are filled, and you're capped at 16gb. Although it is enough for most, I wouldn't recommend it.
