Am I missing anything for my first budget build?

Okay so there is my first build. 500 was my limit but I extended to a little about 500. I went with a 6300 because of rendering and editing. The 750ti for gaming. I plan on using it for gaming editing and rendering. Is it good? Could I subsitite anything to make it cheaper or better?

I fixed it, sorry

I am not a fan of AMD cpus, and if I suggest Intel, it'll definitely get a little more expensive.

Go with the R9 270 instead.

And just in case you don't mind paying a little more;

I do not recommend FX, at this time either. That PSU is not a very good one. This would be better, and closer, to your $500 limit.

If you can handle the extra cost, then an i5 would be a good idea.

I would go for the R9 270 over the R7 370, @logain
Also, he said he'd use it for editing/rendering. i3 is out of the question

Isn't quad core a must now a days for gaming? I was reading and it said Quad core is the bare minumium no a days for gaming.

370 is a bit faster, that is why I chose it.

AMD’s Radeon R7 370 replaces the R9 270 in our list of recommendations. The difference between them isn’t groundbreaking by any means—they’re both based on Pitcairn GPUs, renamed to Curaçao, renamed again to Trinidad. But our performance results show the 370 to be slightly faster at slightly lower power consumption. We have no trouble knocking aside the outgoing model with 2015’s version.

Hmmm, the benchmarks I saw early might have been wrong then. Odd. Thanks.

Is radeon good compared to GTX? Or is it like AMD and Intel were it is just budget

You would have to go with a GTX 960, which costs more, to get better performance, than an r7 370.
