Im building a computer for my living room that my parents usually use. In this build i will only be using Internet Explorer and playing low demanding games. (The game that causes the most lag for us currently is Plants vs Zombies ) The current computer specs are here. I want the newer computer to have faster startup times, less freezing and slow times in Internet Explorer, (No its not the Internet cause its fast on my laptop.) and close to no lagging on Plants Vs Zombies. My recommended budget is below $600 

 

Would This build fit what im going for or is any part overkill? Any part suggestions?

Build Here

 

Edit: $600 is the budget now

You mean Pvz: Garden warfare? With a GT 610? No way! Use a better graphics card.

i7 6700k - 32GB DDR4-2133 - GTX 980

Honestly pick up a A10-7850k APU and you don't even need a video card. This will be more than plently.

 

Edit: Remember to pick up some 2k+mhz memory as well as the faster it is the better the gpu cores on the apu work.

@JokerFire Okay... The normal PvZ should run with it, but it isn't a good graphics card...

Get one 8GB stick, get a better power supply unless you want an explosion. And get a better graphic card.

You can go without a video card?

The APU has its own integrated graphics which can be pretty decent for light gaming.

Sig under construction.

This is a decent build. Another 20 for a optical drive. I didn't know if you needed one. This has wifi built in to the mobo. Didn't know if you need that or not. If not it gets like 40 bucks cheaper with the purchase of a different board.

 

This also gives you the option of adding a better video card later (without having to deal with what to do with the old one) and has 4 cores so games that need 4 will at least run.

Well I did over exaggerate, but it isn't a great power supply. EVGA makes a better for around the same price, so why not use it.

Great build, If there is a microcenter nearby the instore deals are awesome. I got :

7850k with gigabyte 88 chipset MB for 130

7870k with the cheap 68 chipset MB also for 130.

First one runs fine on a 380watt psu and the second runs well on an old LiteON 220 watt PSU

Extensive benchmarks, reviews and videos online to check out if interested.

7850k with the 68 chip MSI 68 chipset MB is like 110 bucks. 

Hope this helps
