1st pc build help please

[Ali Ajami]

hey guys,

 

this is my 1st time building a custom pc i had an old HP case and I wanted to upgrade but im on tight budget.

after some research I came up with these specs

 

MOBO: MSI H81M eco

CPU: Intel pentium G3240 Haswell Dual-core @ 3.1 Ghz (Linus said in a video its a good budget gaming cpu)

GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2GB (128-bit)

RAM: HyperX Black 1333 Mhz 8GB (2x4GB) dual- channel

 

for the psu i got a 430 watts one and for harddrive a WD 1TB so nothing much here not that important right !?

anyway im going to order the parts in couple of days, what do you guys think? 
 

more info: i got the 1333 Mhz RAM cause it says that the CPU has support for 1333 Mhz only so no need to getting a 1600Mhz

 

but what is confusing me is that the CPU specs page says that is supports DirectX 11.1 and OpenGL 4.0 but the 750 Ti is a DirectX 11.2 and OpenGL 4.4

does that mean that i wont be geting the best of the video card or that these CPU specs for internal graphics ?

 

PS: I dont play big titles and i just need this PC for a year running League of Legends, Minecraft, battlefield 3 on mid to high settings on a good fps and for some graphical design for my studies.

Thanks in Advance, a noob here

If you can expand the budget to an i3-4160 you'd be golden. The i3 will be better for AAA games if you decide to play some in the future.

What's the budget and location also?

Use pcpartpicker.com it helps a lot.

-before anyone shouts at the power supply-

 

is it the power supply that came with the HP? because i've had some really good luck with those.

 

also, the DiX and OGL rating on the cpu is for the intel graphics i'm pretty sure.

Sorry G3240? Why not the G3258 and over clock it for really good Gaming performance near same price.

My current prebuilt PC has one. Problem is it's only 300w's... If it was 400w it wouldn't be bad but I've got to get a new one. His is fine for a basic build since no big overclocking can be done.

i pulled ~300 watts from a 250 watt HP power supply before, i'm not sure what they put in there, but they seem to be magical pixie dust...

maybe 250 continuous and 300 peak?

Thanks for the advice i checked the specs vs the G3240 and it was better in every way and the price was the same im definitely going with it.

the i3-4160 was twice the price of the G3258 i dont think i can afford it as my budget is around 300$ and im paying half of that for the graphics card 

I live in dubai-UAE and ordering online from grear-up.me a local pc parts retailer and they have good prices.

 

-I'll be using intel stock heatsink for the CPU the cooler master and other brands are expensive here for a CPU cooler maybe later i can get a decent one

 

-for the power supply im ordering a cheap 430 watts one (TwinMos brand)

 

thanks for the help guys much appreciated

Athlon X4 860K is much better unless you are gonna upgrade CPU before motherboard...
