Hi, so I'm making a budget PC, and have just finished throwing the parts together. The build is only for light gaming and working. I had quite some trouble getting the price down and want to know if there is anything I'm missing, wither to bring price down more, or if I have made a terrible mistake with components. Anything helps. Thanks!

The total cost of an Intel build based on a G4560 is very similar. Clock speed means nothing; you'd have to overclock the FX-4350 to achieve the performance of the G4560: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-G4560-vs-AMD-FX-4350/3892vs2880 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzGHzP21jyg and others.

Overclocking is severely limited with the motherboard that you chose and you'd need an aftermarket cooler. Honestly a 125W CPU on that motherboard is not a good choice.

I chose the fx-4350 for the higher clock speed and cores. I've also had some bad experiences with intel in the past and have had some friend recommend AMD to me, and decided to give it a go. The DDR4 raises the price a little bit as well, and the motherboards with similar features are a little more pricey. So i guess i chose it off of intuition and pricing.
