If you can spend 50$ more then an i5 would be in your budget (the i5 4460).

I'd suggest dropping that cpu and mobo and going with the latest pentium (g3852 I think) and a z97 board.

Nope. As i said, you could go for an i5 for $50 more OR you could get a H97 mobo (25$ more) and upgrade to an i5 / i7 BROADWELL in a few months.

 

Updated with a decent H97 mobo: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dnfQLk

 

This mobo also has 4 RAM slots (therefore 2x4GB so you can take advantage of dual channel).

I Still have to buy a keyboard and a network card, so i still have to put in more 50$

Network Card? You have an ethernet port, do you mean a wifi pci e card?

 

Which keyboard would you like? (price range?). I know which wifi pci e card you are planing to buy (from the other thread).

 

Here is a link to the build with a good CHEAP keyboard and the wireless card you wanted: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LwBkbv

Oops xD I got it right anyway ;) Just follow this link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LwBkbv

 

You MAY want to upgrade the CPU to an i5/i7 in a year or so (to broadwell, that is after haswell (refresh) sometime next year (Q1 or Q2))
