Whats your budget?

[Electronics Wizardy]

Id get a cheaper case, it won't affect performance.

 

Look for used gpu's, you can often get much better performance for the price.

 

Get a better hdd. That hdd will be sooo slow, it will be a pain to use.

 

 

Id hunt for a used dell optiplex and just put a gpu in it. You can get a working system for about 150 with a i5, 8gb ram, 500gb hdd and windows, then add a gpu.

Honestly IDK. My parents are being very vague how much THEY will help. My mom likes this price an I have to talk to my dad. I have a Ryzen build for $400 but I don't know if my parents will be ok with me spending that much even if I buy it all.

Also NO I am not switching to the Pentium CPU that is half-priced. Then I have to fix the motherboard and the price difference isn't worth it. 

ok

with a b250 motherboard you won't have to. thats the point.

It would. I'll need to get my dad on my side though. My mom disapproves of that kind of spending for 'fun'

[Techli0n]

I see... I'll add that to my build list

[jacob282002]

ryzen is a good option!

Be responsible with your money, but never get into the state of mind that spending money for fun is a bad idea. 

 

as long as you can pay for what you need to (bills, food, housing), you shouldn't be concerned with where your fun money goes.

I like this case but people say it feels 'cheap'

I think i'll go for it if you guys think it's good

[jacob282002]

If you like the case and it helps your budget i don't see a problem with going for it.

Why can't you save up some money and not go the cafeteria as often because it is pretty expensive in the long run

I have had a real cheap case it's terrible for the price to air flow it only has 3 120mm fans and no 140mm fan mountshttps://m.newegg.ca/products/N82E16811235062?nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwordsCA-Mobile&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwordsCA-Mobile-_-pla-_-Cases+(Computer+Cases+-+ATX+Form)-_-N82E16811235062&gclid=CjwKEAjw07nJBRDG_tvshefHhWQSJABRcE-Z16HsqCfkf9lg8AhA9zgWQ0WxBqKhUXVf7B3r4UrrtxoCMb7w_wcB

The Problem is that while I have offered to pay (I have MORE than enough) for it my mom says I should spend less based on what I am going to do with it, and that she thinks 400$ is a lot. I can still ask my dad though.... Also I'm 13... Yea.. I bring my lunch every day 

[jacob282002]

I never bought a case i put that money else where

Ok and one of my teachers didn't go to the cafeteria for his high school period and had enough money for a all round trip to Mexico and tell your mom that's the cheap end on pc gaming and show her Austin Evans

[Techli0n]

I updated the list with new parts

[CostcoSamples]

Honestly, the used market is a great place to start if your budget is very small.  Look what LTT has done with scrapyard wars!  You can negotiate for a great deal, it just takes a bit more research to understand which parts are worthwhile.
