Budget (including currency): $600 to $800

Country: USA

Looking to build a new budget PC or possibly get a pre-built one. I would do some gaming and maybe some streaming as well down the line. I would be playing some cod warzone and league of legends. I will use the build for doing some school work on it as well. Here are parts i picked out but would like some feedback as well as ideas to maybe save a few dollars. The list includes getting a monitor, headset, keyboard and mouse as well. the $600 to $800 price point is for the build only.

 

The starter pc i would probably purchase if i dont build one is the NZXT starter, unless people have other suggestions as well.

doesnt seem terrible, there are slightly better case fan, monitor, psu, and case choices, and a 500gb ssd would be preferable. but if you bought like that itd be a fine system. a prebuilt wouldnt be out of the question if you can find one for good value

topics i need help on:

Spoiler
