MY BUDGET BUILD

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y37LzM

I am very happy, After a long time of waiting for deals and finding used parts, I am almost done with my building my gaming pc. Well, I am done and can use it as soon as my parts get here. I upgraded from 4gb ram to 8. And from a GTX 460 to a GTX 780. It is pretty much using all 600 watts since the 780 is power supply eater. But I am happy, I can play fallout 4 and Destiny 2 and every game I want. My Goal was a pc that can play games at 720p 60fps. The CPU/MOBO/HARDRIVE and 4gb of the ram where given to me free from a family member that got a free pc from his friend. 
What do you guys think?

I can finally stop paying 60 bucks for PSN.

a 780+i7 860 wouldn't eat 600w of power, but the TR2 is rubbish quality and shouldn't be used for a 780(or any pc for that matter) it'll play games at ultra 720p just fine.

That's the not the model I have, I chose the 600wat in my PCpartpicker list because I have a thermaltake600watt but its a lot nicer and I couldn't find it on PCPARTPICKER.

Not bad! I enjoy seeing older cards on forums like these, I feel like they're too underrated with everything else that's releasing

Ya, I always seem 1050ti for budget builds, Like they are a really good deal, but there around 150-160 which at the point they where out of my price range, So I found a pre-owned 780 for only 119. The same price as a regular 1050 and after some research the 780 looked like it fit my needs better. Its a huge increase from my 460. At somepoint in the future when I have around 600 or 500 dollars I will upgrade to ryzen with 16gb of ram.

Yep. I have a 980 Ti, which is still a dope card, and a 660 on the way, which should be pretty awesome for my secondary rig as well.

I play destiny 2 on PS4, But I kind of getting annoyed with consoles, I don't like paying the 60 bucks to pay with my friends. I also hate the fact I can't fix my graphics or mess with them, But mostly I prefer to mouse and keyboard when playing! Oh and mods! I am so excited about modding my Fallout 4! I can also play games from older consoles like Darksouls 1 and etc. And I enjoy the upgrade part of PC's. I feel bad for not switching earlier lol.
