I personally think this is better than SkeletonFish's one (please nothing personal Skeleton

) because it has an R9 270 which is probably the best budget card coupled with a really great i3 processor. Eventually when you plan on upgrading, I'd recommend getting another 4gb stick to get gigs of RAM.
