Very nice priced PC and high spec! You run a very similar small form pc like my boyfriend, we recently upgraded to 16GB of ram on his tho!

Why a processor you cant overclock with?
Also your GPU is way overkill because your processor and motherboard are very weak.
Also get 2 ram sticks because you want dual channel mode which is a huge improvement in performance. Highly recommend it.

Seems like a good rig for budget gaming. Enjoy it!

Would you make a gaming pc around 600 for me?
I don't understand much, just the basics... :noh:

I run an i5-4570 , runs all my games just fine.
I have an asrock z87 extreme 6 motherboard, went for large motherboard other small form!

Maybe cut off the DVD/CD drive since it's not going to be used in the future (probably).

I'm going for a decent spec build and i'm not fussed about overclocking in all fairness. I'm happy with the build, so I'm going ahead with building it.

Also zGeek - For the sake of 10 I think i'll keep it in the build haha.

Excellent
I have 6 build @home
3 Cloud Hypervisor build (BiXeonE5 / 256GBDDR3 / 4SSD 256GB 850Pro / 2HDD 2TBRE4)each
2 HPC Build for work (BiXeonE5 / 32GBDDR3 / 2SSD 512GB 850Pro / 18HDD 2TBRE4 / GTX690)each

if you are interested i can post my build in a new thread with pictures...

So I've finally begun to order things for my build, however I've switched it up quite a lot from the OP. Let me find what I've gone for
