Sup guys. I am planing on building a PC (obvious). What is not so obvious is the reason for doing so. I wish to build a gaming PC.

It will need to be under $1500.00 and play any game competently witout running at an average of 15 fps on the lowest graphicle settings.

Size dosent matter.

The games I play most often are World of Tanks, ArmA 3, and, soon, Star Citizen.

Please tell me what you think.

It will need to be under $150.00 

That's gonna be a problem

You won't get anywhere at that price unless reusing some parts.

Umm. You would be able to get a refurbished chromebook. Maybe.

If that's not a typo and we're talking about a 150$ PC then it's not going to play that many games I'm afraid...

[NuggetX3]

lol... I meant $1500.00.

Looks awesome. Will I need a bigger hard drive?

I doubt it, unless you save a lot of "videos."

You might need a better power supply. The Corsair Builder is pretty low end. 

 

I would look at the Rosewill Capstone M or EVGA Supernova G2. If you can get the $40 off the Rosewill then go with that. Otherwise the EVGA is the same price and is a better choice.
