Planned Budget Gaming Build, is this ok?

[wyattcole72]

I'm intending to make a gaming build in the next month or so, and I need to know if these parts are actually what I should stick with. I'm most likely playing at 1600 x 900 or at 1920 x 1080. It depends on what monitor I get. Most likely on high settings, though. I don't play games that are TOO graphic-heavy, so this should be what I'm using.

Thank you in advance!

Yeah, that should be great for a budget gaming PC. If you get to the point where you feel the need to upgrade, you have a large upgrade path going with Intel. I was going to recommend the cheaper 6 core FX-6300 from AMD, but recently I noticed that there is a very small upgrade path, and that new games won't run well on any better AMD CPU you can upgrade to.

So yes, that is a great build for budget gaming. You have a perfect upgrade path for your CPU if you feel the need.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I will upgrade in the future to an i5-6500. I was thinking of adding a superclocked 3gb GTX 1060, but I thought I could upgrade later.
Man, do I love the tiny case.

(Side Note: Once this gets on PCPartPicker, I think the name "The Starter Pack" would suit it pretty well.)
