$500 (roughly) Build Plans

[Chicken1353]

Hi I want to build a $500-$600 computer for myself. I have this so far and would like some input. Note that I'm going to be using the Gigabyte board and not the Asus. The Asus comes in a combo and I figured I could sell it separate or use it in another build. The total for parts is $507.08 as of post.

just replace the gpu with a single one, and the cpu with somethign more recent than a q6600

Ditch the ancient CPU architecture, awful SSD, and PSU and you'll do far better. An i3's onboard graphics these days aren't that far off from AMD's onboard graphics and the CPU itself is far, far superior in day to day operations and gaming. You'll get support for newer stuff like M.2 SSDs and DDR4 RAM. The cheap case can be changed to a Deepcool Tessaract.
