First ultra budget build

[TehAmigos]

I would like to build my first pc, but my budget is limited to 350-400. I was thinking about this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/TehAmigos/saved/#view=bjQkcf, i also intend to use a nvidia 8800 gt i have lying around, so later i can buy a r7 360 (im in grecce not in uk, the uk partpicker has the closest prices).

Is my bulid any good? Can it handle rocket league and gta v on decent graphics?

The iGPU in the 7850K is faster than an 8800 GT

the 8800 gt would be temporary about a month or so, i just want to try the intel, i was an amd fan for years, also i would add an ssd later

Going for the Pentium is wasting money. You have NO chances of running GTA V or any other modern game smoothly on a Pentium even if you had a Titan X. Games hate dual cores nowadays.

The R7 iGPU can run GTA V at 30fps but the 8800GT won't even get 10fps.

SSD can be removed but you still can't fit an i5 in there so it makes 0 sense to do so. Go for that and get a R9 380 or 380X down the line

You can Crossfire a R7 360 with the iGPU in the 7850K >.<

Some tweaks, much better PSU, an i3, and better RAM (IMO). G3258 for AAA gaming is a poor choice. If you were just using this build to browse the internet and do some light workloads, or play LoL/DOTA/etc. it would be fine...GTA V = no go. Next thing to swap in would be a GPU when you can afford it, and the XFX PSU could support any choice. The i3 will hold its own with just about any game/GPU combo.

i went with g3258 just for the overclocking, i think that the psu is a bit overkill cause i m not gonna add a 980 any time soon just a r7 370 maybe a r9 380
