PC Gaming Build Opinion

[oss43456]

Hey guys, i am thinking of making my own gaming PC. The games im going to be playing are games like CS:GO, LoL, H1Z1, and MMORPGs. I might also want to play some other games, nothing to graphic intensive, maybe like some SKyrim. I was thinking of making this one: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2yWzjX . Is this a good build for the price? I dont really want to spend too much money, I want to spend $500-650. Will this type of PC be able to run games at 1080p (the type of games i mentioned). Thanks

nope. the games you intend to play are mostly single threaded and an intel cpu would be beneficial. more cores sounds like a good idea, but in reality games are much more reliant on single core performance, which is where intel is the best.

so what changes would you recommend i make to this build, in terms of CPU and motherboard.
