I think it comes out to around 600$, I can spend another 100$ now though wondering what I should change..
Would upgrading to an i5 be best?

Also I should say I'm mainly using it for gaming, and this is my first build so I'm not sure about things. My friend helped me out with the rest and I'd like to keep it all off of newegg if possible

Hmm that looks good too, I'd still have ~100$ more to spend though. If I upgrade to an i5 would I need a new board, or would it even be necessary to upgrade? I'm looking to spend 750$ at the very most
