Should I go ahead with this entry level gaming build?

[jbeach1]

First things first, I've made some revisions to the part list since my last post. Since there are sales on newegg.com and other websites now is my time. The build will be used almost completely for gaming like BF1, Arma 3, and DayZ. A couple of years ago I think I would have named this build "Console Killer".When I could not choose between parts I looked at reviews to decide. I really prefer quality and value over performance. I cant get used parts as I live in the middle of nowhere and its just not practical. Someone please give me their blessing to go ahead and start ordering my parts? My question is not asking for a recommendation of cheaper parts but, simply put, is this a good build? I am a little nervous about this being my first build.

 

(PS I have separate money for Windows 10 and already have a keyboard and mouse)

I really recommend at least a i5 6400, you will be bottlenecked by the i3

Get 1x8 GB for future upgrade to another 1x8 GB as the mobo has only 2 RAM slots. You can go for 450w of PSU for cheaper if you have no plan on a more powerful graphics card but the PSU is fine. Yeah that's about it

Seems ok to me. I can't see any disagreeable component choices except adding a rear exhaust fan for better air flow and maybe an SSD if you want. Samsung 750 EVO is pretty good.

I got a better build for you, basically the same price but with good hardware. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/6MByqk

In the future I recommend a SSD and 16GB of ram

It is a budget build, I have looked into an i5 6400 a few times but that $70 difference is a lot

I've seen people advising the i5 6500 as it's a good upgrade for only a 20$ delta, but since you're in a bugdet, this probably won't apply to you.

This one comes even cheaper than yours (before rebate) and performs better. Arma, GTA, BF1 are heavy on cpu side so a quad core 6400 would help more. It's not a big difference.

Because if he can afford it, then it makes sense, plus if he wants to upgrade the CPU eventually, then he is able to keep it cool. Stock cooler just doesn't cut it nowadays.
