Please complete my build

[Cryopy]

Hi, I've recently been given a Gigabyte H81M-DS2 SKT1150 M-ATX motherboard and decided to build a budget gaming pc, I have never built one before and would like to get some build suggestions. I have a $420 none negotiable budget.

I would like about 8GB RAM (no need for gaming RAM)
500GB HDD
Graphics card, 1GB is fine
Case with USB 3.0
Windows 64-bit
PSU (no bad quality ones)
CPU i3 or i5 (4th gen)

The whole build must be compatible with the motherboard
(P.S. If I left something out please just add it in )

The build just needs to run the newer FPS games and maybe some RPG games on low settings, e.g. The Witcher

Soemthing along those lines, If you want mor egaming power then:

(basically difference is i5 + gtx 750ti or i3 + gtx 960)
Pure gaming second is better.

Orca_4444, the HDD is 47 dollars meaning that exceeds his 420 dollars budget. Also, he states in his original post that 500GB is enough.

Point two is that the EVGA W1 500w is really not better than the CX430. It's easily worse I think but both seem to have the same warranty.

ginger breads build with this psu should be fine for some time..

Thanks, ill go with http://pcpartpicker.com/p/j68kVn

Why on earth the Intel Core i3-4330 Dual core processor? In quad core supported game you're going to leap behind the i5-4460 and stand no chance. If you're going i3 then the i3-4150/60/70 will give you the same performance for 50 dollars less which is huge.

Why the higher wattage, the build I'll use is http://pcpartpicker.com/p/j68kVn which is like 200W. I'll add in an optical drive but still, that shouldn't even reach 300W.

i was talking about this actually
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wsZdK8
cuz eventually i3 will be a bit old... when u have money u can get a 970 or so and play with the i5 where as i3 will do a bit of bottlenecking..
and not the higher watts its the lack of quality with that psu.. cx is a tier 4 one but if ur in a budget should be fine as long as ur not overclocking or stressing it

For light gaming the Corsair CX 430w could be considered solid, especially with just a GTX 750 Ti and potentially just-as-efficient yet more powerful Nvidia/AMD GPU's to come, the CX430 might not be stressed ever if that path was taken. Would it last longer than 3-4 years? I'm not sure about that though but in light configuration it might.

Doesn't The i3-4330 have Hyper-threading? I was told that even though 4 physical cores is better than 4 virtual cores I could play most Quad-core requiring games. If the difference is very significant I'm sure I wont' be needing the i5 anyway as the games ill probably play will be the following:
Black Ops III
Advanced Warfare
Battlefield 4
Halo 5
Skyrim
Rust
Minecraft
Star Wars Battlefront
Some RPG's (e.g. Diablo, RoseOnline etc.)

if I can't play any of these with the i3-4330, please tell me.

Halo 5 is Xbox Only. Most of the games you listed run quite a bit better on an Intel i5 processor by the way! They're all running best on quad core processor as almost all of the games you listed are CPU intensive.

What's the point for a dual core i3 if the Intel i5 with 4 phyisical cores unmatched compared to dual core + HT i3 costs only 8 dollars more?

Your probably right. I just was trying not to get a $600 pc, but i guess it's worth it. How about this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jxgx4D (ill get an optical drive at my local store for just under $20)

The reason i didnt want to spend lots is that im based in South Africa, $600 = ~R10,000. And an average i3 4th gen will cost about R2,500 = ~$150.

P.S. R100 is a lot of money in SA. thats about $6

 

[RCFProd]

Ok, well anyways the build is ok now. If you can go for that build you'll see ok performance in 1080p gaming.

Thanks for the help everyone
