Comments: I want to build a gaming PC that's relatively cheap. I don't need the best of the best parts, they just need to be decent and reliable and able to play most games. I want to be able to play most games on pretty good settings. Also I want this PC to be fully upgradeable just in case I need to upgrade any parts and must last a couple of years The link to what I have so far is down below. I would like some suggestions and feedback on it. Maybe if I could tweak the build to make it cheaper or something. Any suggestions for this build would be much appreciated.

you have a very good point there. But by switching to an i3 would I be downgrading? and how well does this cpu perform? How does it compare to the fx 6 core?

For gaming, an i3 is generally a lot better. The 6300 is better for things that use a lot of cores, and even in games that use a lot of cores, the i3 still tends to beat it.

Thanks for the feedback. I didnt know that. So if I go with an i3 what motherboard would you recommend?

Pretty much any of them that can do SLI and have 4 ram slots. Also you don't want to go too expensive as after a certain point it is just better to get a Z97. Anything by Asrock or Asus should be good.

Ok so I changed the CPU and motherboard. But the CPU i picked has integrated graphics. Will I still be able to use my own graphics card?

This is the new CPU: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i34150

This is the new Mobo: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-h97anniversary

Now is this build good? and on another note pcpartpicker is saying "Unable to verify the Azza SIRIUS ATX Mid Tower Case and the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler are compatible." how do I fix this?
