This build might be a little over 750$. It's my first PC ever so almost everything is taken from a local forum guide. I'm planning to use it for casual gaming and graphic design (at a beginner level).

It might seem overpriced (I'm not even sure) because I'm using local currency exchange (PEN (Peru) to USD) and prices. 

 

I just want to know if everything here is alright and if there are other (maybe afordable) options.

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

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

What games or other software do you need to run?
