Well, just recently my craptop of a few years finally died and I'm a little bit confused about anything computer-y. I don't have a budget per-say as i'm currently out of a job but with College coming up i'll soon possibly be able to afford something. I was wondering if this tower is possibly a good first choice?

I currently have 100-200 games on Steam alone and I can only run at most 5 of them smoothly. This seems like a good rig but at an affordable price? Excuse me, i'm honestly hopeless. If I get this i'd eventually upgrade to a 750W PSU and possibly invest in a better processor and graphics card.
Any help? ">.<

That pre build PC is better than the ones they offer you in local stores but still don't buy prebuild PCs.

And that PC is bullshit anyways, weak card and not powerful CPU and they put 16Gb of RAM....no sense(I actually know why, to fool customers since lots of ppl tend to think more RAM = better PC)...and that "500W Gaming PSU" sounds bad.

You can build a much better PC for same price.

not to bad for about $650 usd, personally i will only use intel and nvidia builds, i would look into putting your own system together its super super easy, if you know how to snap two lego's together you can put a pc together but you might need a little help picking out the components but for that budget you can likely build something a bit nicer.

There is not really a reason getting below i5 with Intel, because i3 have just 2 cores, which is not enough, and just because some companies(like Ubisoft) tend to lock ppl from playing their games if their CPU is less than 4 cores(unless ppl fix that problem... by pirating their games)

oh i agree i wouldn't use anything under an i5 and would even prefer an older i7 to it so i could have the 8 threads if i was on a budget.

I agree with building your own. You'll get exactly what you want, the actual building is very simple and the satisfaction is great. If you want any tips or such, feel free to ask. There are plenty of users that know more than me as well.

Bad price, try to build it yourself and will find it cheaper, actually a good and cheap CPU is AMD FX-6300 - 100€ and overclock possibility. I can't add more things right now, but will help you.

A) Upgrade CPU after (save some bucks now) or buy a better cpu if you have the money (better)
B) Also get a gtx960 if you have the extra money

ps: the case is random and irrelevant, get the case you like more, just make sure it supports ATX-motherboards
