In a pitiful attempt to cheap out even more on my build, I google some of the cheapest things I could find and put them into this thread! Please give feedback on what I should change. Budget is 600 or lower for something that can run games like Just Cause 3 or, to put it simply, "Can it run Crysis 3".

CPU: Intel Core i3 6100

GPU: ASUS Rog Strix Radeon RX 460 4GB OC

Mobo: ASRock H170M Pro4

Chassis: Rosewill Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Challenger S

PSU: Unknown

 

Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo

 

Hard Drive: WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive
