What do you guys think I already have the parts that are marked as purchased sitting in my room ready to be put into a PC just wondering of any changes to it that I should do. PS I know the PSU is cheap but the machine is going to be a low powered web browsing, Minecraft machine that doesn't need much power and the power supply supports 330 watts continuous so it should be fine and if it blows before I can upgrade it to a better one in a few months then it blows.

I was considering the pentium I already had the pentium before but I wanted it to work better in Minecraft so I figured the i3 would be better

minecraft is single threaded so only clock speed matters. the pentium would end up being better, especially if you oc it

I think you'd be better off getting a Pentium and Over clocking it to an insane clock.
