Can this be improved upon?

[KingOFCruel]

My budget for my PC is under 450 including OS, and wifi pci card(or usb), ive created one that i plan to play dota 2, day z, and other mainstream titles on. i just wanted to know if this could be improved upon, thanks!

everything is USD, BTW.

TL;DR:

    i'd prefer minimal mail in rebates because i hate jumping through hoops, as well as a pathway that would allow me to upgrade to better CPU/GPU/RAM in the future for under 450 including wifi card, and a copy of Windows.

You are indeed cruel sir, may you not up the budget somewhat?

well I was putting up some build with a pentium anniversary one and took 580 bucks with the os included so let me try again.

 

well for now this is what I came up. although not sure about the motherboard since I got no 1st hand experience with it. it's a little over 450$ but it's at 500 bucks at least although there are a lot of rebates >.< but well I'll try again and see if I can go much lower.

edit: another failed attempt but this one at about 550 bucks has the parts I have personal experience with besides the chassis

I'll try again and go as low as I can although this is kinda challenging.

 

edit2: went with an apu and without gpu and I still went over 22 bucks.

I'll try again.

 

edit3: still 18 bucks higher than 450$ with os and that wifi thingy you put

edit4: I guess I'll stick with my edit3. I can go lower with getting a cheaper cpu though but the others beside that one I have no other experience.
