Is this a good entry-level gaming build

[jeffrey1999]

I am looking into building a gaming pc to play games like rust , gmod , mc and other steam games. I was hoping if this build would do well in those games. I will upgrade to and i5 4690 and gtx 970 next year.

For the most part it is pretty good.

Unless you want to get the k series 4690 and overclock then there is no need to get a z97 board over an h97.
Also if you are not getting a 4690k, then I would just get a 4460 as you really wont see the performance difference between the 4460 and 4690.

I know you plan to upgrade the 750 latter but I would at least get one made by gigabyte, msi, asus, or evga. Palit, powercooler, and sapphire I would avoid.

Also, get 2x4gb of ram and not 1x8gb. Ram is meant to be ran in pairs so 2x4gb runs 15% better (real world) over 1x8gb

seems solid to me. maybe skip the graphics card all together and use the integrated graphics to save the money ? seems kinda wasteful to buy the graphics card knowing youre gonna get rid of it in a year anyway

Will core i5 4690 integrated graphics be able to run gmod?

Many games just wont play with integrated graphics. If we were talking a couple months then not getting the GPU at all would be a really good idea, but for a year I would say just get the 750 ti for now.

I have an xbox one. I was gonna get a pc to play mc, gmod and other games that are not on consoles. Also maybe gta 5 when I get good gpu bec of mods.
