Budget gaming computer

[Ryan Gadek]

Hello everyone. I am planning to build my first gaming computer. I have a budget of $800 but I would love if it was cheaper. I have put this together and i think that it is pretty good but i am still a noob at most of this stuff.

here is the pc part picker link  https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JDQ7yf

Note- plan to buy a 1tb hard drive in the future

I play fps games like overwatch and MOBA type games

I will use one 1080p monitor but would like to upgrade in the future to two.

I also want to start streaming on twitch soon.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any different parts to make the computer better and or cheaper.

Thanks everyone

no Ethernet cable access?

also get a bigger ssd or get the 1tb now then migrate windows over to it, you'll use up memory fast on a 120GB ssd

That SSD is bad, get a ADATA one

Also, just get a mobo with onboard wifi instead.

Otherwise, good job

yep not Ethernet access

What is a Adata one and do have a link of any good mother boards with onboard wifi

Get your OS from reddit for $20-30.

This is assuming you buy windows through microsoft software swap. You can probably go cheaper on the motherboard if you wanted too and can probably get a deal on an ssd. Oh and gigabyte has a wireless card for $30 or so

I sorted by price with 4-5 stars and minimum of bronze and then chose the first one I saw from a reputable brand and with a little extra headroom

Get a 520W SeaSonic S12ii. much better quality. Star ratings don't mean anything, use the PSU Tier List.
