Need help with budget build

[tvi016]

Here is what ive came up with so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/tvi016/saved/#savedbuild_2063395 (i know, 500$ isnt alot, but costs 750$ here in Norway)

Will this be able to play games like gmod and csgo on 60+ average fps on low/medium? Anyone got some benchmarks?

Also if you got any other feedback or something i should change on the build please post

Also, i got the pentium instead of a amd processor so i can upgrade to a better intel cpu later

It's not bad, but why spend so much on the case if it's a budget build?

I think I could do better for the money

Saw someone say a r4 is the minimum case they would use in any build, but i dont really know. It looks nice tho😛

 

[tvi016]

Got any ideas for other cases then? Pretty new to the whole "build a pc" thing😛 Currently using a old laptop

This would be a fine budget build imo, and you wouldn't need to upgrade that i3 for a while - it can still handle today's games no problem

1 sec, checking price where i live😛

 

[LucoTF]

If you plan to upgrade to an overclockable CPU later then the G3258 is the better build.

Either would play gmod & csgo on max settings easily

Got any alternative cases for that i3 build? Noone sell it here in Norway xD Anyways, that build cost 650 usd without case, which is pretty nice😛 Should i also get a cpu cooler for it?

No need, the i3 comes with a cooler in the box

For cheap but non-terrible cases

plus others I'm probably forgetting...

The bitfenix comrade and the ostrog looks epic😛 (in white)

I like the ostrog, it came out last year to some pretty good reviews. Along with the enermax Thorex
