The build is nearly 16% under budget. It's a good system that should give many years of snappy performance without the need to upgrade, regardless of the direction taken by the user's gaming preferences. I'll grant you the build could have used an i5-4670 and saved US$10.

The 3xxx processors are the last generation of chips. Their performances is roughly 10% lower than similar 4xxx parts. Not sure where you see a US$50 difference in cpu, any price list I've seen has the differential in the $10-$20 range.

If you're shopping at microcenter, you can get a cpu+mobo combo for quite cheap.
