Hi

 

The link is in swedish, but i'm almost a 100% sure that you'll understand atleast what components im going for :D

I'm planning a build for my uncle and his kids (5 and 7 years old) so basically an entry level gaming pc, and i thought it was neat to try to build something small, something in a mini-tower (my first small build, all other ones were in full and mid-towers.)

This: http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/varukorgen/89040/ is the whole build.

Is there something im missing, or just something that I should switch out for something better?

I have another 1000kr (about 150$) left in the budget. 
 

Thanks!

So I can put anything here?

i don't know your uncle but I'd maybe replace the HDD by a small SSD (128GB). Also vengeance pro is over the top. Get something cheap like crucial ballistix sport. Idk, to me it sound expensive for a faimily gaming PC.

who cares...

Looks good but I would look at replacing the HDD with a SSD and going with cheaper RAM

Why not get a 7850K + Asus A88XM-Plus, no graphics for now, Then when you have then money after you're tired of integrated graphics buy a good discrete graphics card.

There wasn't enough of a price difference for it to be affordable enough, + he liked how it looked :/

They are not going to do any hardcore gaming, by any stretch of the imagination, the most demanding game they'll play will probably be something like Minecraft.

He does not care about speed, considering his children will be playing on it 98% of the time, and they can't tell the difference from 20-60 sec...

Ok Thats a step in he right direction but you might just be best off going with Corsairs Value RAM

That's pretty expensive for an entry level gaming pc. 

Are you trying to get a working system and save money or are you trying to get as good of a system as you can from the budget?

That works. I didn't notice the cheaper 760. I do recommend getting a ssd if possible.
