Am I getting value for money if I get these parts? Opinions and suggestions welcomed

How much is your budget?
Will you be using this for things other than gaming?

 

[Louis McCawley]

Around about £500- £550 and itll only be for gaming tbh

 

[Tamal Sarkar]

try using AMD processor rather than intel's. they are cheap as well as powerfull.

 

[STACKS ON DECK]

intel is good at gaming as compared to AMD . . getting an amd 6300 is equal as 4430 or 4440 and intel runs cooler . . . so your build is nice looking
