Help For First Build

[EliMcFly]

Hey all, trying to make my first build. I have a few options, so if you could tell me which would run games better (and if there's any compatibility issues). Thanks.

p.s. would any of these run ARK? I heard it recently got better optimization, and I want to play with my friends.

I personally would get the second one

Those are all bad. They're also all completely different budgets, so what is your actual budget and currency for a system? What do you intend to use the PC for, exactly? 

[LienusLateTips]

No to all of them. What's the budget?

casual gaming. I play World of Tanks, GW2, Overwatch and maybe ARK if it works. Will probably pick up more games in the future. Also, what do you think about JDE's build?

Bit cheaper, but better looking. Better/nicer case, better monitor. I included a CX450M just because it's the cheapest decent PSU, but that Rosewill PSU he suggested is absolutely bulletproof for the price, so I'd personally just spend the extra $15 for it, but you don't need to.

exactly i was thinking of suggesting this monitor for Jde's build. I recently purchased one for a relative, must say amazing for the price.

quick question: does the  *MSI - Z370-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard have a wifi card or would I need to purchase an additional one? I'm not able to use ethernet with my room

No, it doesn't.
