For 3D Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are my favorites. (For N64 and 3DS) For 2D A Link to the Past is great. I haven't finished it myself, but it's really good. (For SNES)

PC Architecture. Especially why it's important.

I found this thing on sale when I was looking around. It's normally $350 ($500 on Newegg). I have no idea how good (or bad) it actually is, but if you spent all your money on a new rig and don't have much left for a 4k monitor it's at least worth a quick look. http://www.kmart.com/upstar-28inch-4k-uhd-led-monitor/p-012W008507308001P

Just bought my first gaming rig (Waiting for the parts to arrive). This would be a great addition.

I think I am going to go with this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TbshwP $380 with rebates ($430 without) After searching around online, I found most people agree that the g3258 is better for gaming than the x4 860k when overclocked. (Probably only because many games don't use 4 cores very efficiently.) So I think it'll be worth the extra ~$20 I will have to spend on the motherboard. Thanks for the help. My cost was cut by just over $200. Now for the hard part, actually spending the money.

Oops, I thought I did put it in the planning section (This is my first post). Also, I already have a 900p monitor, and don't want to buy a new monitor, otherwise I would buy a 1080p monitor.

Thanks for the help. But the OS is still a problem. Databasepc said the OS is free (As in pirating?). TheN00bBuilder suggested r/softwareswap, which frankly the legality of the codes there seems highly questionable. Is there a cheap solution for this that is perfectly legal, or does anyone know for sure about the legality of the codes on r/softwareswap? (I am a college student, so any "student only" things would be acceptable as well.)

I need a rig for basic gaming. 900p@60fps I'm not going to be running anything super-intensive, but it needs to be able to run most games at medium to high settings. I don't have a strict budget, but I'd like to spend as little as possible as I'm about to quit my part-time job to focus on school work and side projects. I am going to grab a sub-$20 case that doesn't look terrible, but I'm not sure which yet. I also need a (Hopefully cheap) wireless NIC as the modem is in a different room, and I can't run ethernet throughout the house. I already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. I am also planning on doing some light overclocking. (I've never done it before, so I want to play it safe.) What I'm looking at right now is: Motherboard: MSI z97 PC Mate (http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Motherboards-Z97-PC-MATE/dp/B00K23BW70) $98 CPU: Intel g3258 (http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G3258-BX80646G3258/dp/B00KPRWAZQ) $70 Ram: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB (http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-FURY-1866MHz-DDR3/dp/B00J8E91UO) $50 Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 750 ti FTW (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Display-Graphics-02G-P4-3757-KR/dp/B00J0ISHMQ) $150 Storage: WD Green 1tb (http://www.amazon.com/Green-1TB-Desktop-Hard-Drive/dp/B006GDVREI) $50 PSU: EVGA 500 w1 80+ (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SFJU) $50 OS: Win7 Home Premium (http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Premium-System-Builder-Packaging/dp/B00H09BB16) $89 ~$20 case & ~$20 NIC Total: $597 What can I do to lower the cost without sacrificing too much power? If at all possible I'd like to get it close to $350.
