Do you guys think this is a better than i3 4150 for the same price (was $90 a couple days ago)?
Your friend is better off with an i3 4150.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00J2LIF2S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1417289113&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
Why? As you said, he doesn't plan on overclocking and the i3 can't be overclocked. It performs, on average, better than the 6300 in games due to its superior single core performance.
I'd definitely advise going with a Pentium G3220 (~$57) or an i3 4150 (~$100), both dual core processors, the latter with hyperthreading that imitates a quad core as well as modestly stronger physical cores. Both have far stronger single-core performance than the 6 core FX-6350, and since the vast majority of games only utilize two cores, they'll give you significantly better performance while also being quieter and cooler. Only a few of the newest, most cutting edge games utilize even four cores, and due to how weak the individual cores of the FX-6300 are, both dual cores will still be faster, especially the hyperthreaded i3.
This would also allow you to forgo getting the aftermarket Hyper 212 EVO, saving you you a nice ~$25 that you could pocket or put back into other parts of your build.
Other than that, it looks quite nice to me.
AMD quadcore are absolutely horrendous. Do not buy.
Amazon has a Core i3 4150 on sale right now for $89.
And there's an MSI H81 mobo floating around for ~$30 that would go great with this. I just can't seem to find the link right at this moment.

Here you go - http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i3-4150-Processor-Cache-BX80646I34150/dp/B00J2LIF2S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411509694&sr=8-1&keywords=i3
ABSOLUTELY.
The fact that it can even be done with stock parts (although granted it won't be aesthetically pleasing given the case restrictions), drives the point home, but that also limits profitability by the manufacturers, and like i said also makes them ugly, so it makes sense that companies like Valve are designing integrated-system boxes that can run smaller and trim the fat, thus making room for profit.
The other major sticking point is Windows, which is precisely why we have steamOS. I hope it catches on. Windows is a great general purpose OS, don't get me wrong, but it eats resources that could be used in gaming, and also would devourer $100 of your build unless you uh, have connections.
That being said, allow me to demonstrate:
PC Case & PSU: $50
CPU: i3-4150: $120
MOBO: MSI H81M-E33: $50
4GB Ram: Crucial: $36
WD Blue 1TB HDD: $60
MSI GT 640: $84
Grand total: $400
I'd bet that total it would smoke a ps4 or an xbone, too.
Edit: I can't math, I'm $16 over with the GT650. So here's a GT640 that makes it work. Still beats a console.
Edit 2: regarding lifespan, that's a silly restriction. First, I've gone through FOUR xboxes in 8 years. The last one has only lasted becuase i mainly switched to a PS3 in the last few (edit 3: Three PS3s, but IIRC only one was due to death, the first got sold). Having said that, I have every confidence the build above will last 8 years, provided it doesn't die in the first 3 months. PCs are like that. Either they croak right away because you did something wrong like not provide enough airflow or have a bad part, or they last forever, like the dell desktop I have sitting in my office with a Core 2 Duo from 2007, or the studio-pc my old band used to record our album that I'm SURE the singer never updated, and is running a Pentium 4 and Windows XP (he's of the if it ain't broke variety).
Besides, what someone else down the line said, if you're going to compare apples to apples, add xbox live/psn sub fees for 8 years in, that automatically adds another ~$400 to the cost of the machine. That's a HELL of a lot of headroom for upgrades. And this isn't even taking into account the general cheapness of games on PC vs. consoles. Games usually start $10 cheaper on PC and will tend to drop immediately after launch - if you can wait a day or a week, you can usually get most games for $35 or less, so figure an average of $25/game savings, lets say 4 games a year (hah), and we're talking ANOTHER $800 saved over the lifespan you are suggesting.
TLDR: PC is cheaper, but requires more commitment (duh). There is something to be said about the console's ease-of-use where even my 3-year-old son can figure out how to turn on the PS3 and watch a cartoon on Amazon or play Pacman, or turn on the Wii U and play NSMB or Pikmin 3.
Get this CPU. But I wouldn't recommend this http://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B00J2LIF2S/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1499076663&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX118_SY170_QL70&keywords=lga+1150&dpPl=1&dpID=517YLplMnhL&ref=plSrch
I suggest you sell your motherboard and get a 1151 socket motherboard. This will be more beneficial than getting a new CPU. you will have tons of options then.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00J2LIF2S/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used It's 87.60 now
And Frys had it new for $89.99 that ended 14 minutes ago
I'd recommend this motherboard

If you get all three then you would have a better experience all around for the same price as the GPU. could even get a cheaper mobo $397.43 for those three items or 350 for just a GPU
That'll be your best gpu for the money! My last critique with your final build would be the processor, Intel i series processors are known for being good with gaming in general while amd processors are better at work related topics. An i3 would serve you build best, but in the end it's your choice if you want it or not and the Athlon will serve you well.

This CPU!
aaaaand I'd just shop around for a motherboard that fits your needs. It doesn't need to be fancy, because honestly if it works, it works. I literally have the cheapest motherboard I could find for my build, and it's just fine.
^Waukee ^^master ^^^race
Looks great! Things you might want to consider though:
So I'm looking at these two:
Intel Core i3-4150 Processor (3M Cache, 3.50 GHz)
Gigabyte H97 Extreme Multi Graphics Support UEFI DualBIOS Micro ATX DDR3 1600 LGA 1150 Motherboard GA-H97M-D3H
Thoughts?
This is my current build, with a case picked out on Amazon that doesn't appear on Part Picker.
On the Amazon page for that proccesor, it says, and I quote:
>Compatible with Z87 and Z97 motherboards. Z87 motherboard users may need to apply a BIOS update for compatibility. Not compatible with Intel Motherboards.
Since this is the first time I build a PC, I just want to play it safe and make sure everything works fine according to their specifications.
By all means don't quote me on this but this is a good place to start your research:
Motherboard:

MSI gtx 650 (confirmed as working somewhere IIRC)

This should be about 280, leaving not much for some kind of HDD the only thing left to buy
Please don't just buy these, check with someone who knows, this is not out of personal knowlage, just research
FYI you can get an i3-4150 for literally 2 cents more. might as well. Also, if you dont mind buying used you can get a nice R9 280X for around 150$ off of ebay or /r/hardwareswap, which outperforms the 760 by a fair amount. If you dont want to buy used I understand, this seems like a good build
and here is a list of amazon items, all have the 'prime' tag

The case is not ideal, as it does not have UBS 3 outlets in the front. You might need to look for another one.
LGA1150? I have one of these i3s if you think you'd be okay with it. I can tell you I've easily run 2 eve clients on it with no issue (outside of big blob fights, of course).
Would this be any better? I'm trying to budget this.
So would you get This or get a G3258.
40 dollar price difference, but if I have to spend money on a cooler it would be even closer.
This is also my first build and I don't really know how to overclock yet
Nice, it seems like that R9 270X is quite commonly recommended around here. I think it would be nice to have 8GB RAM so I'll probably keep that. Is the i3-4130 a lot better than the G3258?
Edit: Also, would it be better to go with the i3-4150 or 4160 instead since they're only $5-10 more?
A better build for the money -
13 4160 - 8425Rs.
Cheapest H81 Mobo - 3.5k
8GB DDR3 RAM - 2300Rs.
Storage - 1TB, 3.6k
GPU - 17k, gtx 960
Cabinet - Variable, could go upto 3k for decent Circle cabinets.
PSU - 2.5k Antec PSU, powers my R9 290
Totals upto about 40k give or take(You could get parts much cheaper in an actual store) and you get a system which kicks the PS4's ass.
I know Indian prices are fucked and console gaming looks more tempting but trust me, looking at our steam store prices i'd say its worth it.
If you live in Delhi visit Nehru place to purchase your parts, you'll get the best prices there.
