Should be.

[TheSLSAMG]

Yes, but the power supply is craptastic.

[Bluejay0]

Yes, however I advise you to get something bigger, for safety and for future proofing.

Looks good to me.

You guys got an idea how to keep my build around 600$ but better? thanks

Eliminate headphones? I would rather you go spend a few extra for a well trusted power supply.

Don't have a OS yet, with one it'll go a bit over budget. How better is that then the build i chose? If it's a big difference i might get this one, thanks

Can you tell me about a few you have in mind? thanks!

Your build is worse. The thing is, an upgrade OS only works if you have a previous OS copy.

Yea, that's why i will need to add about 80$ for your build since i need a OS, but i will be thinking about getting your build with an OS.

Okay. My sister runs a similar machine (but with an i5 2500K and 16GB RAM) and it runs great. Better than any APU would.
