Well if Intel is expensive go with AMD...

Well, you don't have a choice but to go with Intel with that motherboard...

 

EDIT: I would go with Intel for the better performance per core, but if it's out of your price range, go for AMD.

You're getting a 750 Ti. You don't need an i5 or i7. I would choose an i3 for that build, or even the G3258. It wouldn't bottleneck the 750 Ti at all overclocked. Then downgrade that motherboard to H87, H81 or B85. If you get a G3258 with a H or B series board, make sure you get one that is compatible with overclocking the G3258. You may need to get a 9 series board. I'm not too familiar with which boards can overclock with the unlocked Pentium.

Hey guys, I have a problem, im going for a decent gaming build but I am on a budget. I already have all my parts picked out.

EVGA Hadron Air

16Gb g skills Dont ask why

EVGA Gtx 750 Ti FTW Edition

A Mitx Z87E Itx mobo

Wd blue 1tb

Samsung evo 120gb

All my parts except the CPU. I have stuck with intel my whole life and i never had any problems. Now that im planning my first build, INTEL IS EXPENSIVE. So what do i go with!

I know you've listed quite high-end, not exactly budget oriented hardware but what's the total cost of the build? Please next-time read the pinned thread by Windspeed36 for more information about how to layout your written structure, which helps a lot.

OP, have you purchased anything yet? If not, tell us your budget for the PC, and where you live (europe, US or UK) Can scratch up a few builds for you.
