I am looking for a pc to build but I only have 425 dollars. I want a dedicated Graphics card. I already have Windows from a different pc.

Nice build, except I would trade the SSD for a Kaby Lake Pentium G4560 (because it has hyper-threading) and a B250 motherboard (unless there is an H110 with the BIOS already updated.)

Thanks. I went for Skylake assuming that OP has Windows 8.1 or below (which would conflict if he gets the G4560 that requires Windows 10), to avoid any additional purchase/upgrade of OS given his limited budget.

But if OP has Windows 10 already (he mentioned he will be using his OS from a different PC (not specified in his OP), then, G4560 is a better CPU :)
