Good PC. Any Suggestions?

Go to solution Solved by Techli0n,

I made a new thread with new specs

BEFORE WE START** I would like if we could stay VERY CLOSE to this budget. Like 400$ AT  THE ULTIMATE SUPER MAX! Also AMAZON prices only. That's where the parts will be from

 

Edited to New CPU. The Pentium made the MoBo WAYYY To expensive so I chose a new CPU/APU

Please...don't get an AMD FX CPU. To today's standards they are garbage and there is no future upgrade path. If you want your PC to last a while, it's a huge no-go. Get a Pentium G4560 or wait for Ryzen 3.

I see you guys' points but I would prefer to order all the parts from one place.. If Possible. If there is too good a deal I might be able to convince my parents.
