Hi guys, I am currently wanting to get in to PC gaming reason being PC'S are so much more capable of upgradability and have better graphics than consoles.

 

I need a SUB-550$ pc...

my budget is sub-550$

 

Must come with a quad core processor or higher.

( i5 or fx-6300 )

 

must come with WI-FI adapter or on-board wifi...

 

Good GPU that can run ANY game at 720 or 1080p at a SOLID minimal 45+ fps...

I plan on gaming at 720p just to have more fps haha. I'm not a person who cares about definition. 720/1080p still good definition

This is a bit over in price however for right around $550 it's about the best performance you will get. Now I must emphasize for others look at this PC and going NOT THAT PSU!!! note that this build won't draw much power and to upgrade in the future a PSU upgrade would come first, it's just something to start with. This PC will smash 720P and will do pretty well at 1080P as well. I hope you consider this build and enjoy it if you do :)

860K + 380 in an ITX config, the motherboard comes with wifi.

 

the 860k won't be as fast an i5 overall, but most games don't require that strong a CPU.

At your price point you won't have much expandability unless you're willing to live with integrated graphics for a while.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
