How's this for a budget PC? Are my parts good for the cost / will the fit and preform well?

[shitlord]

might aswell just go 1151

[rambo1220]

might aswell just go 1151

also why you getting an i5 but then a 950? I don't know if it's for gaming or not but that's one hell of a bottleneck.

[Daswiruch]

yeah, in this situation you'd be better off with a weaker processor and a stronger graphics card

you could shave off a few tens from the price if you decide to go with a home edition of win 10

Would this cost more because I'm making this as budget as possible

also why you getting an i5 but then a 950? I don't know if it's for gaming or not but that's one hell of a bottleneck.

Would you mind linking me to a graphics card that would work but wouldn't add a forgetton to the price?

shouldn't

purely anecdotal but the home edition of win10 kind of restricts your freedom with not being able to choose updates and such

I'd consider this but this seems to use AMD for the card which I'm not going for at all and the dual-core is a turnoff

This too, I'm not going with Home because of that reason and the PC being a mainly gaming one

[Foxscotch]

and the dual-core is a turnoff

most games you play will likely not use them both, so it will be better for you to go for quality over quantity
assuming that his suggested processor is actually better. I don't know if it is or not

Again, I'd much rather use a Quad Core. Plus I do editing as well for youtube (and currently practicing) so an I5 would help quite a bit

Both rendering and high-quality recording

the i3-6100 is on par with the i5 4460 when it comes to performance in games

and if you rly prefer an nvidia gpu there's a 960 selling for a bit more than the 380 i linked

Even though that card adds on 50+ dollars I'll take a look at it, thanks

I'll also do some research and I may consider the i3 due to its cost
