Budget engine build

Hello people of the internet!!

Planning on doing a semi budget engine build. By that I mean, buying only what I need, not everything I can.

For instance, I doubt I'll be pushing near or past 500whp so I'm happy running Skunk2 Alpha or Brian Crower.

The main question is; do I neeeeeed forged pistons? I want stock CR and an easy build.

inb4 do it while the engine is apart. Everything will be done in house so that's not a valid excuse/reason.

Facts: 2015 Engine, 20,000 KM

Current purchase/wish list:
King or OEM bearings
ARP head and main studs
Rods TBC
Head Gasket TBC

Anyone with experience with these engines please pipe up and fill me in

Thanks in advance
