So, i've been planning a pc build for quite a while now and I've managed to scrap together a decent-ish build. I'll be using this build for gaming, preferably Esports and a couple triple a titles such as CS:GO, Rocket League, The Crew, GTA V etc at medium - high 60fps. I'll also be using it for video editing, nothing too heavy though. I'm on a $400 budget by the way :)

The build also consists of a couple parts and accessories from Craigslist, Ebay etc such as the cpu and gpu (i5 2400 & GTX 660).

 

Thanks! :D

The cpu costs about $40 - $50, and the gtx 660 is around $90 - $100. I've been looking for used Ram and storage though.

if you look hard enough , you can find a 760 at that price. they 2gb variant. sometimes the 4. its a nice build but I honestly dont know about running high. medium would definetly work. you can save some money but using a intel stock cooler if it comes with the CPU because it wont get hot + no OC.

 

I would say check out whatever is local too. you might find great deals !
