Idk about wireless network cards so left you enough for that and a budget keyboard and mouse. You said you had case and monitor, but this should handle most games

Hi.

 

My 8 years old laptop died today, i loved it even if it was a piece of junk (i was forced to play WoT at 14 fps, disgusting). Rest in peace.

 

I want a Tower PC to play games like League of Legends, World of Tanks and Civ6. Also, if its possible that it can play modern games like Dark Souls 3 atleast like a ps4 i would be happy.

 

 

Also, im from Colombia so i need that the parts can be shipped internationally, i will get a case locally since shipping one is kinda expensive.

 

In summary:

 

- A pc for "basic" gaming.

- All the regular parts for a Pc except the Windows licence (i already have one) and the case.

- A net card (or net adapter, sorry i cant find a better way to translate the name) since i cannot connect with a cable.

- The peripherals are apart from my budget, except the monitor.

 

If im asking for impossible things please feel free to correct me, i can stretch my budget $30 or $40 if it would increase worthly the performance.

They're not in the US.  They're in Colombia.  

I got that, if they need it tweaked down they can get a cheaper graphics card, but at least now they can get some idea of what they can get

If you need to shave off $50 then a radeon 570, if you need to go $100 lower the 1050ti should get you there, either will still provide a good gaming experience, but naturally you get what you pay for. happy I could help
