Thoughts on this?

[pcplayer18]

I wanted to build a pc that i can do almost anything on, on a very strict 575$ budget before mail-in rebates.

 

Things that will usually always be running: Skype (or razer coms/teamspeak) / Razer synapse / Some kind of music player ( youtube, grooveshark, WMP).

Things i will be playing: League of Legends / WoW / Diablo 3 / Heavily modded minecraft ( with this i will need to host a server on my pc for my friend to join)

Games i might play: BF4 / Cod / Dragon age

 

I live in the us, and i will be getting all of my parts from newegg.

 

Heres what i have so far, and suggestions or if something is wrong id appreciate feedback.

I was originally going to go with a core i3, but being a college student and no job, the upgrade path really isnt to appealing. Once i get out of college and get an actual job, ill be saving up buy  a new computer all together.

 

This is the build i had for a core i3: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/dododog/saved/KqQBD3

with this i wont get the benefit of dual channel ram, so does that make a difference?

[clapthemcheeks]

Why would u get a i3 when you can get a pentium with a evo 212 and overclock it to about 4.2 ghz here is the build i came up with

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/jojokidc/saved/NFQBD3

 

dont worry the gpu will fit they just dont have the measurement out because it is a brand new card an the cpu cooler will fit this guy had it in his build http://pcpartpicker.com/b/bydCmG

what is the point of getting that motherboard its a oldchipset......and no point in getting the fx-6350.....the 960 is more expensive and less vram compared to my build.

hmmm

[clapthemcheeks]

if your playing at 1080p 4gb wont matter and if you think your going to get even decent fps with a r9 270x at 4k your lying to your self.

as i said before i dont have money, so i wont be using a 4k monitor anytime soon

[clapthemcheeks]

That is why a 960 would be better than a r9 270x

[clapthemcheeks]

and the only point of getting a more expensive motherboard is for better overclocking and sli or crossfire compatibility.
