As of right now my budget is extremely tight and my current rig is just not cutting it anymore so I need a new one seeing as this is not reliable for longer than 45minutes to an hour without a random blue screen occuring. I was wondering if this build for about $600 will perform well at med-very high 1080p gaming on most games. (I do plan on a processor upgrade from the pentium keep in mind)

Not really....the main problem its a dual core CPU with no hyper-threading. Better to get an i3....plus most games won't play unless its has either HT or four cores.

My parents pay for prime so I have free shipping and the convenience of receiving from one company is preferred. I know it sounds kinda picky but still :P

its better to order from mutiple places since many places don't have sales tax on electronic parts. Only in certain states. I know Newegg doesn't add tax except California, Oregon and something else.

Corsair CX is not a good choice.

 

Look at XFX TS, Seasonic SSET-600, Antec HCG which are all similarly priced and better than the Corsair CX, with longer warranties.

i5 4670k - Z87X-UD3H - EVGA GTX 670 Sig 2 - Samsung 840 Evo 250GB - 8GB Avexir Core White 1600Mhz - Corsair 750D w/ RGB LED Mod & Remote Control - 2x SP120 - 3x Enermax Cluster - 2TB Seagate SSHD - Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 - SuperFlower Leadex Gold 750W
