This. This so much.

 

Gaming on such a low-end PC is so not worth it unless you have a very particular title you're willing to make sacrifices for. Personally, if I only had $450, I would just buy a Nintendo Switch and a couple games. You could also just wait until you find a prebuilt for extraordinarily cheap.

Exactly. Or, with Xbox Game Pass, you could have a full library of games for years while you save for a better system.

you dont get a case, so everything will run on the mobobox.

 

you get a VA panel that isnt great, but at least its more than 21"

 

edit: you need to use DVI cable to run the monitor. which you need to provide yourself. 

 

would also suggest picking up a used GPU to try getting a case in. r9 290 and rx 570 go for cheap these days.
