Hello there and good day!

 

Is this good or can you guys tell me is there any bottle necking in this build?

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/einsteinvashj/saved/MQvD4D

 

You can help me guys re tweak this build because I really have no further experience on building cuz I'm so noob

 

 

:D I hope it is worth the money,

 

my general tasks daily are :

 

10-20 tabs for browsing, forums, youtube, social medias and web developing.

rendering some 480p - 1080 vids.

play games like league of legends and dota2

 

My budget is $850 - $900 If I can save some more without affecting the performance in a significant way it would be good.

 

I already have my peripherals because I have an old gaming rig my brother gave me including its peripherals.

That's pretty over budget

$80 isn't that much in the long run but if he can't afford it drop the hard drive and grab it later
