Would my system build be okay? Need some input on build.

[Nerdygamer554]

Hello. I am building a new PC. I have everything selected. Please tell me what you think. If you think there is another part that is better for the same price, please tell me. I am quite new to building PC's. For anyone wondering. I would like to use the PC for some gaming. I really don't care if the graphics have to be turned down. This will also be used for average tasks, such as Adobe Photoshop, or browsing the internet to watching videos.

I need help choosing a cheap monitor, around 18 to 20 inches. I have been eyeing this one for a while. http://www.amazon.com/Dell-2005FPW-Widescreen-Panel-Monitor/dp/B0009IPTJU/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1368478018&sr=1-5&keywords=computer+monitor

What use? Gaming? if so, this will not play games.

The PSU is trash. Get one from Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic.

16gb RAM is way too much. 8gb is plenty.

This is my take on a budget rig to game on that has room to upgrade later and is all decent parts to start with.
This is meant to help someone looking to get started.
Budget Build Gamer
Microcenter
CPU core I3 3225 $119.99
MSI Z77A-G41 LGA 1155 $44.99 after $10.00 rebate and bundle savings
Crucial Ballistix DDR3 1600 4 gig 2x2 $39.99
Toshiba 1TB 7200RPM 6.0Gbs $59.99
Gigabyte GTX 650TI Boost $174.99
Corsair CX500 $44.99 after rebate of $10.00
Diablotek EVO Mid Tower $37.99
Windows 7 OEM 64 BIT $99.99
LG 24X super multi drive $15.99
Total $638.91 plus tax
This rig would be a nice starting point to game web surf play DVDs
The case has 4 fans with 1 Led lit.

Thank you for the suggestions, I have changed the build a little and it is quite different.

The PSU in the second build is trash. Coolermaster makes AWFUL PSUs.

What is your location exact since there may be a better solution.

I live in the US, specifically St. Louis Missouri.

That is good news the build I put together was from Microcenter and they are local to you.
They have best price on CPU and MOTHERBOARD and will price match NEWEGG on any other parts.
I will PM you a Special they emailed me since I am on their list.

I think I am going with AMD. Please tell me what you think, I am also looking for a cheap monitor.

In the Microcenter Build I listed you can change to AMD FX6300 Black six core CPU and get the ASROCK 970 EXTREME3
Motherboard and leave everything else the same and the build will cost the same.

What about a graphics card? Won't that cost more?

The GTX 650Ti Boost 2 GIG is $174.99 at Microcenter and if Newegg had it any cheaper they would match.
This GTX 660 2 GIG is $174.99 after rebate at Newegg and Microcenter has it and will match.
These 2 are the best bang for the buck by a good margin for under $200.00
