Build for my gf

[Desertman]

Would this build be adequate for light gaming like L4D2? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9jhcsY

I would get the g3258 and an r9 270 also an ssd from adata the sp900

if you can afford an r9 270 the 750ti would be a better choice

I think this build for the same price would be better (she can also upgrade to a locked i5/i7 later on,

also if you dont like case feel free to pick something else):

Could have went with an Intel cpu, but i always think 4 core cpus are the minimum anyone should get.

Made various other changes as well
