I just finished my first ever build. I had a low budget so the specs aren't the best but I'm happy with it. I purchased a refurbished dell inspiron with an Intel i5 4460, 8GB of DDR3 RAM at 1600MHZ, and a 500GB HDD. I then upgraded to an Antec High Current Gamer 400W 80+ Bronze PSU (a craigslist find for $25 USD new in the sealed original packaging). Lastly I got a Zotac GTX 1060 6GB Mini on Ebay for slightly over $100 USD. Let me know what you think of the parts I chose and what upgrade paths you think I should take in the future. Thank you.

It will game, but some pictures of the build would be nice. A good build is a little more than the specs of the parts inside.
