So, as I already stated in the title, I'm looking to build a PC for casual gaming, like some GTA 5, Rust, Overwatch, ARK: Survival, Witcher, etc.. and some very basic 3D designing. I don't really want a beefed-up monster of a PC. But about the OS, I only want to run Windows 10, nothing else. The OS is not a problem, I can take care of that, and the OS doesn't have add up to the final cost. And I don't really want easily overheating builds either.
I don't really care about all the 60FPS hype, I am fine as long as it can run the games on normal graphics; 1080p at AT LEAST 30 - 40 FPS. I'm not gonna do any of the VR crap just yet. I could maybe spend something around 400$ - 600$. (I'm doing this in the USA)
I took a look at a few guides and I'm thinking of this build:
AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor
Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-H Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard
Crucial 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
XFX Radeon RX 460 2GB Video Card
Deepcool TESSERACT SW ATX Mid Tower Case
EVGA 500W 80 Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Apparently it all adds up to something close to 420$.
So, is that build good for me, or is it too low, or is it overkill? Also, I dont really know much about building PCs, and that is why this following noob question. What about the headphone/mic jacks? What about the USB ports? Are they included with the motherboard? Like, the jacks and the USBs will be present in the front AND the back?
