Hi! I need some help with a PC

Hello everybody! Hope everyone is doing well!

 

So, I'm looking to build a budget PC for running games at decent speeds. My budget is rather small ($600 canadian), which is probably $500 or something American. Yeah, a bit of a challenge. Hahahaha!

 

But if you can assemble a PC capable of running games like Fallout 4 at medium low graphics for $600 canadian, i'd love ya! :)

I would improve the motherboard, PSU and SSD as much as your budget allows.

That's already over my budget by a small bit haha. But this is a very good recomendation, thank you!

NP. I'd recommend saving up/spending like 10-$15 more to get a better-looking case, but it's up to you.

To be honest, cases don't matter too much to me. Nobody is really going to see the rig, and I care very little about aesthetics on my PC's, as long as it runs good. :D

Welcome to the forum! You can get people's attention by quoting them using the arrow under their reply, or tagging them with '@' like this - @Aereldor. Here's a link to the forum's community guidelines.

The great thing about PC gaming is that you can get a good experience at virtually any budget. I have a build in my signature that can play many of the latest triple-A titles at a mere $300 USD.

 

Anyway, my question to you is - do you already have a monitor, peripherals, or a Windows activation key? You need all of those to game.

I, sadly, do not. I have a TV to use in the short absence of a monitor, and I can pick up a keyboard. I already own a mouse and use it with my current PC.
