Help me with my budget build!
Last response: in Systems
Hello to all!
I'm working on my first gaming rig; it'll be a budget rig priced at or (preferably) under $550 without peripherals. Here's the build template I'm working with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/uvVZ . The only thing set in stone is the 7850 and I'm 90% sure I want the i3 (no AMD because I dont want to overclock and may Hackintosh in the future), but everything else is from a recommended build I found on reddit.
What I basically want are components that are cheat but that aren't absolute garbage. What that means is the case should cost about $50 at max, the mobo ~$60, and the RAM to be fairly cheap as well (is ~$35 a good price point?).
All suggestions are welcome and appreciated!![:)]( ":)")

That gpu you have listed is sold out. Get this one asus hd 7850 dc2 $170 after $10 rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
**edit
Maybe that one you have listed isn't sold out but I'd still get the asus over it.

Any huge advantages of the mobo you gave over the one I provided? I see there are a couple extra slots but I don't think I'll be using them.
The RAM looks good; thanks for the tip.
I think the case I have in the build list will suffice my needs, but thanks for the link to the other one anyways.

The Asrock board I linked aboveAre there comparable ones about $10 cheaper, or are there features on the one you provided that make it well worth the price?
What about this one?: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... It's only $50 after MIR and the only difference I see is the number of USB ports (which I wont be using a ton of).

The board is only $69 - that is real cheap for a decent moboThis looks to be just as decent, especially considering the $50 price tag: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
