I'd add a SSD in later. For now, this PC should run a consistent 1080p 60FPS:

I hope you're joking....

-Puts an locked i3 with a Z170 board instead of a lower class board eg B150 Chipsets

-WD Red 3TB? 5400RPM? I believe a 1TB WD Blue would be good enough for a budget build.

-"Whatever PSU" Yep, puts in a CX....
