Have a budget of around 420 dollars. Mainly going to be playing mildly taxing PC games (Skyrim, Minecraft, Final Fantasy XIV, Borderlands 2, that other Borderlands game that is coming out, and Battlefield 4) and browsing the internet.
Is it good or rubbish? I'm not looking to overclock, and I don't need an os, accessories , or optical drive. Windows 8 installs just fine from a USB :).
Why did you put the Pentium with a non-overclockable motherboard?
I don't know. Stupid me. I don't know much about motherboards, but MSI was talking about the motherboard in this partlist for overclocking the pentium.
This is my current build:

I was thinking it may go a bit over, as you'd want a newer motherboard to get the good stuff when you upgrade, and the cheapest h97 is ~70 dollars.

And you should be able to play BF4 on almost Ultra.
And if your able to go roughly $30 over budget, you could get a R9 270.
