New PC Build with Integrated Graphics

Budget (including currency): $700-$800

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: School for now and AAA games in the future

Other details: I currently have an old 600 watt PSU I'll use in the build for now and it'll likely be upgraded when we get the GPU. The system is for my brother to use for high school school for now and he would like to game on it once a GPU is available. I'm working on getting a hand-me-down GTX 970 from a friend. I was trying to get rgb parts where the price difference wasn't unreasonable and go with an all black build. I plugged in the prices I've found for these and accounted for rewards I have at Best Buy. that's why the current prices might be a little off from what you've seen. Any thoughts on what I've found so far? I was wondering if there were any improvements I could make within my budget, whether it be swapping out components or other suggestions!

 

Also, the Motherboard and CPU were a combo at Best Buy. I realize I could have gone cheaper on the motherboard because the CPU isn't overclocking, but the discount offered for buying the combo no Best Buy was worth it to have the nicer motherboard. Wi-fi is a requirement for me.

Your PSU isn't great, and if you add in a nice card I'd recommend upgrading it. Meanwhile, the iGPU on the 11500 will be a hefty bump from an 11400 while you work on getting a card.

Big nerd.

Thanks for the suggestions! Really appreciate them. The 11500 does seem to be quite the step up. Was there a different mobo recommendation you would have if I definitely needed WiFi, or would you just recommend I get a WiFi card?
