Mid range build, need pro advice and help please

[Camsix]

I am building a comp for my wife this week.

I originally was going to go I5 with a decent mobo and like a 660, however I talked to her and I think its super overkill. She will only be doing Facebook games and collection games all of which are not very demanding at all. My kids might play sims4 and a few other games on it. I want 1080 resolution but am fine with graphics being at high for the lesser games and mid for any higher end games we play on it. I have my own nice set up for high end gaming.

My question is should I go with a http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.aspx?sku=617654 and get a free Gigabyte motherboard or spend the extra 100.00 on an I5 or an I3 for about the same price. Money is an issue so I do not want overkill.

Plus what do you think about a r7 250 or an GTX750 for what she will be playing?

Help me out with some ideas please, plus do you think 4 GB would be enough for awhile or should I go straight to 8 GB ram?

Thanks ,
Kaleb

for what you need i would do the deal and go with a 750ti or a 750 if you dont want to spend the extra cash. also always go dual channel ram as single channel hinders the performance of the cpu significantly. here are some benches of 750 and 750ti and will get you better performance than what you want honestly but for the price you cant beat it
