[Willco2]

(yes I know, Lego Lad made a thread almost exactly like this)
Alright, I think its time I get a new PC. I dont even have a PC at the moment actually, ive been having to use a laptop to run my games.
This is my build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YXzN4D
Specs for those to lazy to click the link:
Processor: Dual Core Pentium G3258 (going to OC this when I get a better CPU cooler)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 4gb RAM (can be added onto later through time)
Hard Drive: Seagate 1TB 7200rpm HD
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB DDR5 VRAM
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912
PSU: Corsair 430W 80+ Bronze
My budget is around $500 and I need a monitor (hdmi would be nice pls). I would like the best specs with the lowest price possible. Please improve on my build or try to make an even better one than mine.

nice

[Mr Queeba]

Looks pretty good, it's just that Pentium processors aren't that great. Also, you should get a case with USB 3.0 ports as well. You also don't need case fans, the case already has some.

[Willco2]

Try getting a nice and decent AMD CPU.

I want to stick with Intel. I personally like Intel alot.

You also don't need case fans, the case already has some.

I wanted them for extra cooling, but I guess the ones in the case will do fine for now.

Oh, you should get a case with USB 3.0 ports, too.

Suggestions?

[Pentium]

You can definitely do better for $500, gimme a minute and I'll put something together

It's $100 more, but it has better stuff. Better Intel CPU, case with USB 3.0, More RAM, an optical drive, and I replaced the Seagate drive with a WD drive because Seagate drives are bad and have high failure rates.

Guys I need a monitor to go with this, I dont have one lying around. I already have a disk drive lying around.

27 dollar power supply makes me nervous.

27 dollar power supply makes me nervous.

It's actually a $60 PSU, just with a massive MIR

Eh, it's made by Corsair, is 80 + Gold certified and normally $60. Not great, but for a cheaper build, it'll do IMO.

Needs a case with USB 3.0, and a monitor, but other than that it looks good.

[Pentium]

Just updated the build; case already has USB 3 but the old board didn't, should be fixed now. You're not going to get a monitor within your budget though unless you're willing to cut corners.

honey i like intel too but sometimes you just have to settle for second best when you're on a budget. i had to make do with a $55 AMD (it's only like $27 now) for 6 years before i got my new computer.
