Hi there guys i am wanting to build my self a decent pc for gaming. I have already got a mid tower case for $40, Segotep 3402. I want to add the rest of the parts in. Any suggestions.My budget is 700 NZD. I had something like this in mind http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/VW68TH.
Thanks in advance

to be brutally honest, that is a horrible gaming pc. save up more money, dont waste it on those parts.

1000 will get you something respectable. dont change the power supply.

What if i change the CPU to A8 7670K. Its costs 100 more

If your going to save $100 anyway, change the GTX950 to a GTX750ti. It'll still perform quite well for a budget build

I would be a bit skeptical of a G3258. I've seen loads of videos of them lagging in CPU intensive games, you should be aiming for an i3 (Skylake or Haswell, doesn't matter all that much).

 

[LuvdemTacos]

It really depends on what game you're playing. On the latest games, with settings set to low, a properly overclocked G3258 would do just fine.
And in CSGO, for example, it would do a good 50fps or so in low settings

 

[audie-tron25]

I agree that it would perform alright with it overclocked, but most people with theirs are going for 4.5GHz. I guess if you really can't stretch for an i3 and your happy with doing that, it would be alright.
