An i3 build will still be better because you can upgrade it easily in the future without changing much components. Can you buy from other stores in Australia or only newegg?

From my research, Newegg has the cheapest prices, i have tried Mwave but almost all their stuff is more expensive.

 

Also AMD is bringing out their new Ryzen chips soon, would that not give me some easy upgrades in the future?

Yeah but Athlon uses old board, Ryzen uses new board and will not be compatible with your athlon or your ram so that stuff will be wasted :(

 

Look at @Energycore build it is solid.

Perfect, see if you can fit an RX 470 GPU by getting the stuff cheaper on Newegg Aus (the utility I used doesn't include those links).

 

It would be well worth it.

That pentium has hyperthreading. It's like a gift from the gods if you ask me.

Seems fine to me. But I don't know about the motherboard. Can you find a b250/h270 instead as some need 6th gen skylake to update bios
