Intel Build Markup

[KiddRedd96]

Hi everyone believe this is my first thread I made I'm not sure... Either way!

I've been putting a lot of thoughts and planning into building two completely different computers.

One for myself and one for my sister! The one for myself will be a micro ATX computer based off of AMD and the other will be an Intel which is also a Micro ATX.. which is the one I will be discussing with you guys today.

So far, the PC is looking like this;

Motherboard
I got the MSI-B85M-E45-matx-lga1150-b85-05-105355-1538

PSU
Rather have a semi modular or modular PSU for my sisters case.
Corsair

CPU
I got the 4690

RAM
G.Skill Eco which is on sale on newegg
orr....
Patriot Signature Which is on sale for 52.99 while I write this...

Case
I'd need to re-edit this thread but its a prebuilt AMD Sempron 754 Micro ATX Desktop PC.


Basically, all she wants to do is play the occasional WoW and use a few applications nothing all that much.. Her budget is 600$ Canadian and she already have a HDD and I got her a SSD recently. Thank you for the help in the advance!

Before someone says that this build isnt balanced. I choose i5 with GTX 750 because she doesnt play demanding games so i5 will last her a lot longer than i3

What about your build? What is your budget? Why do you want AMD?

Thanks a lot for the recommendations, look like a clean build! I need to update the OP.

Also me I was looking towards AMD because I want to do a lot of video rendering, music editing and lots of gaming + emulation.
