I am planning to build my first pc later this summer( YAY!) and I think I have decided on a parts list( you can see it here on pc-partpicker http://pcpartpicker.com/p/RYGyvK). It will be used for lite gaming such as league of legends and CS:GO it will also be used to do all my school. I would like it to stay a micro atx with a Blue/Black color scheme& I would like it to stay around $475 ( I'm on a tight budget). Please give me feedback of what you think and how I can improve

Wait for when summer comes around. Prices change too often to start the build now.

I would recommending buying a USB and downloading the Media Creator Tool for Windows 10. It is a cheaper option and your saving $20. You need a key to activate but there is no trial.

Okay! But just to warn OEM systems are sometimes very buggy.

Good idea. I´d actually recommend looking into getting some used parts. Can be a life saver.

check amazon warehouse deals, the "used" name sometimes is just because of damaged packaging, you could probably get a better card than the r7 370 for that price range, right now they have the r7 370 for $120 and a gtx 950 for about the same and that HD for $34

if i post a link to amazon try to use the LTT affiliate code to help the channel http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=linustechtips-20
