Budget PC Build

[RoxasX7]

I created a budget PC using PCPartPicker and wanted some additional feedback. I mainly want to use this for gaming and since I'm going to college next fall I want to keep is under $1000. Any suggestions?

For a dedicated graphics card build stay away from apus. Also, your psu could be better. That being said their can alot better value had for 1 grand, but I need to know if you need to record games and/or edit videos. Also do you want a small form factor build, or is any size for the price good.

What kind of PSU should I get? No, I don't plan on recording or editing videos/games. Build size isn't really a concern for me, but I figured a smaller build would be cheaper. I just want the best bang for my budget.

Here is what i came up with as close to 1k you could could drop the evo 212 if your not overclocking and that would be exact 1k and this could run any game no problem. This build would outperform the amd build in all the games as 4670k is pretty much the best gaming CPU you can buy.
