Wait for Ryzen/Zen, it's gonna be very soon and even if you don't wanna buy it Intel prices will probably go down. But if you really need to build the pc before Ryzen go for a 6500/6600k, but if you wait would you be able to gain some more money too?

less than 200 for the whole desktop PC???

 

that is pretty low

 

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

CES is like happening right now, AMD's close to announcing a release date for Ryzen (and Vega for that matter). 

 

You can wait for a few more days, right?

Zen is expected to be announced at CES which is in a few days, it'll probably be February before it rolls out and becomes available.

Also at under $200 youre gonna struggle to get a decent build, unless you buy used.

I think you meant <$200 as a > would implement's a budget great then $200 which doesn't make sense with what you said. Anyways, don't buy a PC for less then $350. I'd consider that, or very close to that the minimum since anything below it will result in horrible price-performance and an overall bad experience. Unless you go used
