^ first you want i5 4460 with mobo and ram only, then you want to add a PSU too and then add 750 Ti later

If you could give a more clear budget for the entire config, we might be able to suggest a better one. :|

Hi [MENTION=124834]ranjitsd[/MENTION],

Yes, Intel i3 4150 is better than Amd A8-7600 because of its hyper-threading feature, which allows each CPU core to execute two threads simultaneously. The Amd A8-7600 operating frequency of the microprocessor is higher than the frequency of the Intel i3 4150 CPU, as a speed result Amd A8-7600 is a bit faster than Intel I3-4150. In terms of performance, Intel I3-4150 is better than Amd A8-7600 in most applications. The Intel i3 4150 CPU supports AES, or Advanced Encryption Standard, instructions. This technology accelerates AES encryption and decryption, and is valuable if you need to secure your disk or network data.
