First Build ( Intel ) ( 500$)

[TheJollyRancher]

This is my very first build that I will be building myself. I have been researching parts for quite some time now and thought this build would suit my needs for a certain amount of time. 

 

If you guys could post down below what you think of the build, how can I change it, and any general suggestions.

 

Final thing before part list. If you could be kind please put where each componet connects into the motherboard ( ex: psu 24 pin plugs into 24 pin slot on mobo)  http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3KgJQ7

Get a B81/85/H97 MoBo and then get an i3 4150.

You could also ditch the cooler if you do this

On that short of a budget, cut the cpu cooler, get a cheaper mobo, and upgrade to an i3 processor, you will see miles of difference in multitasking, while only taking a SLIGHT hit on gaming fps if you were to overclock the hell out of the g32. You should be able to make do with a stock cooler for a while, so long as you can deal with their usually slightly higher levels of noise.

With z97 he can always upgrade his cpu later to the 4690k and overclock, since the g3258 is more of a temporary cpu for gaming anyway.

Basically as good as its gonna get for $500

Good job.

Im not really going to be anything but gaming for now g3258>i3 4150 and whats the difference between H97 and z97 I thought z97 was an upgrade o_O

Well, if you're planning on upgrading to a better cpu say6 months, or 9 months later, then absolutely go for the g32, and just "make do" until you can get yourself a real long term cpu like a 4460 or 4690, or even 1231v3 either of those three will last your for a couple years, easily.

 

Assuming there isnt some huge shift in the market in two years to to monster 32 core chips.

The 4150 is actually better than the g3258 for gaming anandtech did a test with them, and the i3 always won, or tied. Z97 has a few nicer features, but really isn't needed. All is gives is official overclocking support and higher speed ram capability.
