Please reply if there is something wrong with it!

Also there were some things left out on purpose I just need thoughts on hardware.

What is this for

[Technozo]

Basic low end gaming and low end stuff.

[Velinzor]

Is it just for office work?? Cause there is no GPU

[Technozo]

I'm going to use the iGPU

Yeah that's fine you will get away with playing like lol, tf2, and Dota 2

[positivePXL]

You got some tweaking to do here dude. You only have a 160 hdd. You included an aftermarket air-cooler, but the cpu you selected has one included that is basically the same thing. 

[Technozo]

Yeah I'm fine with that. Also Vel will all the parts work with this build I put together? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4mttmG

[positivePXL]

The iGPU? Dood, just fork over a few for an older gen gpu.

What are you intending to play, are you saving up for a GPU? or not using one

[Technozo]

@positivePXL It says the CPU doesn't include one which kind of shocked me because only the 6700k doesn't come with a stock heatsink.

1) if you're relying on just the cpu, you'll need a beefier one than a low powered one

2) changed the ram to dual channel, although this will limit your expansion because your motherboard only supports 2 dimms, but if you're going to use iGPU then you'll want dual channel ram bandwidth

3) swapped the hard disk to an SSD, can go back to HDD if you want

4) changed the case to a better quality one

5) changed the psu to a better one, you can add a gpu in the future

6) removed cpu cooler as the 6500 comes with stock cooler

This might be a better idea. Switching to AMD and get an APU. Then save for a GPU.

No matter what you do, it will be agony with that slow hdd.

Get at least a 128gb ssd for a few $ more (if you dont install or store much on the pc, if you do a 256gb one),

that is going to make a gigantic difference.

@g12601 I do live streaming to Twitch which requires more CPU so switching to AMD isn't the best idea.

Ok, this is information we need. You need to get a GPU.

I'm not doing any high end games though at high settings. It's all low end but I do intend to get one which is the reason why I choose a 400 watt psu.

livestreaming on that rig is like trying to run a marathon, as a 100 year old person with arthritis. I'd definitely say go for an APU with your budget. This APU comes with the new Wraith cooler from AMD.

And AMD APU is way more budget friendly, and will excel well enough at anything you throw at it. The difference between mine and @Fulgrim's build, is that I opted for a full-size ATX mobo, and a better ram kit because you will need it to optimize your on-die gpu in the APU. Oh, and I actually have an hdd that you can install more than one game to.

u wot m8

 

The motherboard size won't affect it's performance. And your haven't chosen a "better" ram kit, you just went for dual 4gb sticks, rather than one. And if you knew about APU's, their gaming performance scales with faster ram. You chose slower ram. And how exactly does slower ram "optimize your on-die gpu" ?

Your build is also ~$50 more expensive.

You're right, the mobo doesn't affect performance. Like I said, I just opted for it, more of a personal preference that I am willing upon this poor soul. 

 

dual 8gb sticks*
