Intel budget build

[FutureProBuilder]

I'm building this computer for a friend and his on a low budget of $600
So heres what i came up with
Intel pentium G3258(No his not going to OC)
H81 mobo
Gtx 750
8gb kingston HyperX 1600mhz (8x1)
1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue
Corsair cx500m
Corsair 230T
Anything wrong with this?
Am i overpricing?
Is this bottlenecking?
Thanks in advance.

You can do far better than this for $600. This build has way better CPU, dual channel memory, much faster graphics and much better power supply. Even an SSD for a system drive! Still, it doesn't include OS, optical drive and peripherals - if you need them, please tell.

[synphul]

Yea I didn't exclude any rebates or anything, just got lucky I guess lol.

How did RCF's XFX PSU from Newegg not get the MIR like synphuls did?

You can disable MIR, I disabled it.

 

[LucoTF]

I always disable MIR too

It's hard to figure for other people. Everyone is different, some don't like to be troubled with mir's some don't mind. Personally it depends on the product/vendor, I try to take advantage of them when I can. Another hard thing to factor with pcpartpicker, often times it selects places such as outletpc or superbiiz and more often than not they have additional shipping which isn't accounted for. I've found it can vary anywhere from $7-8 or as much as $20-30 depending on the vendor and products.

Yeah, shame there is no option to display the MIR amount for each item instead of just show totals with or without. We don't even have them here in the UK? Odd..
