Made a promise

If this wasn't for a friend I wouldn't need to come on here, but he's trusting me with his money to pick out parts for a budget gaming rig. This is what I came up with (500 budget). The only thing I'm not sure about is the psu and case combo. But that's the only cheap one on newegg. Will this play things like sims 3 and spore and games like that at decent frames?

Sorry to say that 430w won't be enough. 500 will do though.

A bit more expensive though. Raidmax is OK, I had a case and PSU combo from them, now my little brother has it. PSU been running strong w/out issues for 5~ years.

Aside from that, those specs will easily run listed games.

thanks mate. Exactly what I was looking for. When I looked up case and psu combos those didn't come up.

Besides that will this pc do what I need (with the games and whatnot)?

430W is plenty to run a 460. Raidmax units are pretty notoriously poor units when it comes to power supplies.

I would also go with this for CPU+Mobo:

thanks for that. I think with those couple of adjustments I'm good to go. I appreciate the help.
