The build is solid. You already have room for expansion with your 450w power supply, since your motherboard only supports 1 video card. Your system will barely draw 300w under absolute maximum load.

Have fun!

You should really be looking for a quad core cpu. Much more stable performance for gaming.


Not obtainable on any sort of a budget. If they were using more expensive parts then yeah I'd agree that a quad core would be needed. Otherwise the i3 is fine.
