No way, build your own.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

You could build that new for less i think....so no.....actually like 100$+ cheaper O.o  http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kyDNbv

 

An overclocked 6300 is actually not shabby for gaming, it fills the performance gap between i3 and i5 and lets you oc on the cheap.

The fact that its 750 isn't even at least a 750ti makes this a no buy.

Get this but I'd try getting a 285/380 - those are cheap and better than a 960.

Also - 4460 to save some cash there for a better GPU

I can use a different case there right?

Can I put GTX 970 for this?

This is as good as it gets for that money

A 390 is better.
