First off My budget is 500 and I was trying to get the base cost under that.
I had a CPU that clocked at 4.2 but in order to save money I'm going with a 3.7 that I'm going to attempt to over clock at 4.0.
The only concerns that I have are the case and its power supply and the MOBO.
Things I want this PC to do. 1.Light gaming - DayZ Stand alone/World at war/H1Z1 and games alike. So please if you see any issues that can be resolved and keep my base price under 500 then feel free to do so.

_Skittle wrote Just seeing a case that includes a PSU made me shudder.Hahaha I know the psu in the case lol you should have read reviews on this other case I was looking at haha. The only reason I went with the combo is to save money I would have upgraded it in about a month. Also with what you suggested yeah an extra 20 is worth it just something I don't have and I also would prefer 16Gb of RAM :/
A bit over, but with a budget like this that $20 makes quite a difference.

Yes it saves money, but cheaping out on a PSU is a very bad idea.

_Skittle wroteYeah I've heard horror stories of things frying up because of bad PSU's I just thought that in light of not having money that I could cheap out on that bundle for the time being and then eventually upgrade the PSU and Graphics together.Exempt wrote_Skittle wrote Just seeing a case that includes a PSU made me shudder.Hahaha I know the psu in the case lol you should have read reviews on this other case I was looking at haha.

_Skittle wrote If you can't spend the extra $20, either save up for a little longer or swap the RAM out with [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and add another one of those sticks as soon as you can.So after reviewing what do you think about this PSU and case? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] I still come in under budget after rebates.

I don't why you want my opinion after I have suggested a build that is what I would personally get.

If you can't go $25 over
use this RAM instead [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
You will be able to play most games at 1080p medium-high settings with 60fps.
The difference between the 750 Ti and the 950 isn't much at all, and I definitely wouldn't cheap out on a PSU.
