Don't know much about pcs, but going off of previous builds, I built this.

What could I change?

Are you stuck on intel bc I'm pretty sure u can get a better amd system for around that price. And you should be able to get a 1tb hdd for 50-60 then ram I u look can be found 60-70. Also y the evo212 if you're not going to oc? If you have no plans in oc then it's really a waste unless u live in a really hot place or your case has poor airflow. Not going to say anything about the case bc that's personal preferance but if u wanted cheaper u can get the source 210 or w/e for 30

Could you build me one with amd?

Case idc as long as it's not white

For 30 bucks for the 212evo I don't care really, figure it's just 30 so I'll use it

Is there a real difference between the g43 and g46 mobo? Besides USB headers, whatever those are?

Also, if I want to run dual monitors in the future, will I need sli/crossfire support?


And I know this will be a pain in the ass but I want to buy everything from amazon

G43 has USB 3.0 headers while the G46 does not. You can OC a little bit on the G46, but not on the G43 unless you put your rig out in -20 degree weather.

For dual monitors, the general answer is no, you don't need multiple GPUs. You just need to make sure your GPU can support more than one monitor, which most, if not all, modern GPUs should be able to do.

would be good if your case has front panel usb 3.0 ports,
210 doesnt tho

-> Front Panel USB 3.0 Ports No

This is what I came up with after looking a little bit

Different case though, I'm getting the source 220, not the rosewill
