For that money you sadly won't get PC to play games at any settings.

You would be better off with console in this case

With that budget there really isn't much point as whatever you buy will be outdated very quickly and won't run much... You might as well buy a console or save your money for a while and wait until you can afford a good PC

I highly dont recommend buying pc parts on craiglist tbh.

I spent $450, and here's what I got!

CPU: Intel i5-4690k

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master something something - seller wasn't too sure what it is.

GPU: EVGA GTX 760...not one but TWO running in SLI.

RAM: 8gb of Crucial DDR3, might upgrade to 16 soon.

PSU: EVGA 650G SuperNova.

Keyboard: Corsair Vengeance K70 with red LEDs  

Mouse: Corsair M65

Case Fans: NZXT Fans...idk what they actually are.

Case: NZXT Phantom

I have ascended

You did pretty well on that budget, nice!

 

Curious, which parts did you purchase second hand? All of them? I personally would have gone with a more powerful single GPU rather than 760's in SLI, but I guess that ultimately depends on the deal you got and which games you play (whether or not they support SLI at all). Notheless a good system for the price you paid, pheripherals too, which is nice.

Purchased the actual build second hand.

Congratulations, welcome to the PC side of things. Where modding games is fucking awesome. Also the huge selection of games to play. Oh and if your a die hard GameCube fan, emulators!!!!! 

I love it! I've been playing PC forever and now I can play the games I actually want to.
