Hey there,
So this is my first time dealing with building my own pc. I've been to buildapc subreddit, picked my parts at pcpartpicker, and now i want to get additional input from tom'shardware! I'm looking to build a light gaming pc (MAINLY games like Runescape, Overwatch, League of Legends).
Here's my build
PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/XH4tJV
Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/XH4tJV/by_merchant/

CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor ($110.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($53.88 @ OutletPC)
Memory: Crucial 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($28.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($40.49 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Superclocked Video Card ($109.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($59.97 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($43.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit ($83.89 @ OutletPC)
Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter ($38.85 @ Amazon)
Total: $571.04

I would really appreciate any input. Also, I'm on a budget so keeping it under $600 is ideal. Thank you!

I changed the Samsung 740 to a much, very, very, better SSD Samsung 840 EVO 250GB and the price also vent down:
Total price from $667.67 to $590.00

The strange thing is that this SSD have zero cost? What?

Still a very bad idea of adding a SSD to a budget gaming PC it takes money away from the actual performance leaving off (the bad SSD) he could upgrade the processor to a i5 giving much better performance.

I owned 2 of these and the issue was never fixed.

Yes I agree!.
You are totally right, but what can you do? I mean sometimes the time itself is limited.

Who are you talking to?
Perhaps you can suggest a better build, the one I was suggesting was only to change the SSD, I have not checked the other parts.
Btw. A SSD is the most cost/efficiency upgrade to a computer.

You can mix different components from different builds towards your own preference, like getting a regular HDD instead of the SSHD, or going for less expensive motherboard or RAM, but I would stick with the gtx 960, good luck mate :)
