  1. Budget (including currency): $500 USD (flexible) Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft and some python scripting Other details: A friend of mine recently gave me a desktop to take apart/ resemble for practice with handling/ building a PC. I have completely disassembled and reassembled the machine and successfully installed windows as the OS. I am now looking to upgrade it. These are the current specs: CPU: Intel i5-2400 @ 3.1GHz Ram: 16GB Storage: Seagate 500GB HDD Motherboard: hp 1497 What I'm wanting is a motherboard that has HDMI output/ at least one USB 3.0 slot (as this current board only has VGA and USB 2.0). Ideally the new board would be able to use the current processor/RAM/storage to cut on some cost. I would also like a GPU/graphics card but don't know what to look for as far as they go. Any suggestions?
  2. Thank you Slottr and RAM555789 for the suggestive builds (and the others for your insights). Makes sense that the market is garbage right now all things considered.
  3. Budget (including currency): $400-$500 USD Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games like Call of Duty/ Minecraft, running python files, general computing/web browsing Other details: This would be my first build ever, so I'm not necessarily looking for the most glamorous build. Just a decent system that will mainly get me some experience with building a PC. The $400-$500 range is without peripherals.
