How about a budget.

[EverydayImMinin]

I explained that already.

[AlwaysFSX]

I explained that already.

Not entirely.

 

What's a number that we can work with? And is it high enough to actually buy a computer to play games.

[EverydayImMinin]

Oh well if you need a number...700 or less...

You can get Windows on G2A, but not everyone enjoys going to that route.

 

Here's a build that'll last a while.

[SAV1OUR]

What can this run? Just to be sure.

[EverydayImMinin]

most games at medium to high at 1080p 

Great! Thanks!

[AlwaysFSX]

Every game in existence?

As what @SAV1OUR said too.

[EverydayImMinin]

It says there are compatibilty problems. Is that just a mistake or should I worry.

What says "compatibility problems"?

[EverydayImMinin]

What says "compatibility problems"?

The PCPartPicker website.

Yes, but what build list? Simply saying "compatibility problem" is a bit like saying "I got a BSOD, why?"

[EverydayImMinin]

Sorry, the build list listed as answer on post. Sorry again.

The notes on that build (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GpxXVn) seem fairly explanatory. The first says that the motherboard has a header which can be used if the case front panel has USB 3.0 ports. The case does not have any USB 3.0 ports. The second explains that the Windforce gpu is longer than 230mm and will block some drive bays.

 

Neither of these messages should be a concern for this build. Unless you want USB 3.0 ports (as opposed to USB 2.0 ports) on the case front, or you plan to mount 7 or 8 hdd in the case.

Thanks for the help. Also, is there anyway you could switch out the case that everything fits and it has 3.0 ports? Thanks again.

I'm not very tech savvy. Lol.

The motherboard has USB 3.0 ports on the back.

 

Can any more be spent to get a better case?

Yes. More can be spent to get a case with 3.0 ports.

[brob]

Yes. More can be spent to get a case with 3.0 ports.

 

Take a look at these: Fractal Design Core 3500, Corsair 200R, Corsair 300R, Corsair Graphite Series 230T Black, Fractal Design FD-CA-CORE-3500-BL-W and Corsair 230T Windowed-BLUE (there are actually several different color led models).
