You can type as much bullshite as you want to, the fact is you're shacking up to a piece of shite. That's not ignorance, that's testing and reading benchmarks.
If I had some peanuts, I'd throw them right in your face, soft hand.

Ah, I see what's happening. Several posts with no technical explanations for anything you've spewed. I was annoyed at first because sometimes people on the tech board do this but remain completely serious about it, like they genuinely think they know what they're talking about. Troll on, now that it's known your advice should obviously be ignored.

This was my first PC build and I love it (built it about a month ago) Runs CSGO at max settings with 250-300 fps. Was really easy to put together, only took me about 45 minutes.
Part List
Edit: I originally had an EVGA GTX 750ti ssc but it crapped out on me and I didn't feel like waiting for the replacement to ship so I went to bestbuy and bought a GTX 960 and got my refund later. All I play is CSGO and honestly couldn't tell the difference.
Was getting 200-250 fps with the 750ti and I'm now getting 250-300 with the 960.

Thank you for that part list, that helped out a lot. I was able to lose the SSD card which I know is nice but not necessary for what i'm doing. Don't need the keyboard so dropped a few bucks there, and also changed cases. I've used thermaltake before and like it a lot so i'm confident in it. brought price down to around 602 which is what I was looking for. Thanks for all the help guys, here is the link to the parts if you wanna critique it on your own. PCPARTS LIST

Not sure why you want critiques at this point.
FWIW, it'll get the job the done.

I would still get a SSD, a 120GB SSD only costs about $45 and if you look for the gskill ram that is blue they are normally around $40.

I've had good luck in the past with MSI boards, but I've never used that one in particular. Reviews look good though. I shudder to ask at this point, but you've got your OS choice made, I assume?

I was in the same boat as OP when I was trying to build mine. Didn't think I needed a SSD and was trying to save a few bucks.
Some guys on here eventually talked me into getting one And I'm glad they did. My PC boots so fast it's insane. Also really helps keep the operating system smooth and snappy even when I have a game running in the background.
If you do decide to go with a SSD make sure you get an extra Sata 3 cable. The motherboard only comes with 2. And you need 1 for the HDD, 1 for the Optical drive and 1 for the SSD.

Why don't you guys like bundled processors and mobos?
Posted on 9/10/15 at 5:05 pm to Pectus
I don't think anyone has anything against them. I certainly don't. But, they aren't necessarily going to be the best choice for a given situation. Nowadays, I do part lists for people based on the current prices reported by PCPartPicker. I start with the appropriate CPU for the budget and usage, and then select an appropriate motherboard with a variable combination of criteria in mind (in some cases, I check mosfet and cap manufacturers and ratings for a particular model of "budget" overclocking boards).
It's rare that the right combo for a particular build will be part of a bundle, or that any bundle would be more ideal, logically and financially, than two components carefully selected. For instance, if I'm looking for a ~$100-125 board to pair with a 4690K, it's of no use to me that a $200 board is a few dollars off when paired with that CPU. Most of the meaningful discounts are Microcenter in-store deals. For the rest of us unfortunate souls who don't live near one, PCPartpicker is handy, as long as you know how to use the filters effectively. Long gone are the days where I consult Newegg for the pricing data, or pricewatch.com (I used that for component pricing over a decade ago. I'm surprised to see it's still around and just as shitty as it's always been).
