If your budget allows I might bump up the RAM to 12 (you didn't list it so I am guessing you're going with 8) or bump the processor up to an i7. It's better to have a little too much computer for what you need than too little computer.

Recommended specs. RAM is 8. I was thinking about eventually bumping up the processor but I thought this build might be a good starting point

This is the worst advice

Bump that video card up first if you're going to be spending any money upgrading, that's where you'll get the most significant improvement to framerates

UGH, only dumb HP and Dell computers have ram in numbers not divisible by 8.
