Weird suggestion i know but if gaming is not your concern why not go with an amd build? I just think a fx-8350 cpu would be more beneficial over all and a bit cheaper. Just a suggestion.

Nah, I'd stick with a 3470 or a 3350P if it were me.

On the original build I'd ditch the tin can speakers - the speakers that are built into your monitor are better than those.

This would be a better buy for $600 - $700:
