    Few key notes from this list is missing. Do you plan on using your old OS, mouse, optical drive, is the case price included in the $600 total, using old HDD or need new one, etc.. just basic stuff.

    I made a list, but it cant be solid until the above information is cleared then the great chazus or someone like cyrops can probably build a list better than mine.

    would it make much difference getting the i3-4130 over like a i3-4330 or 4340

    Both of those wouldn't be too much of a performance upgrade over the i3-4130, somewhere under 10% for each of them.

    Nice 2012 video.

    Kostattoo's build is pretty good for this limited budget.
