Sadly there is no Micro center near me and it depends on what website it is(No Craigslist).I would like to have new parts because of the warranty.

Check this out, there is no upgrade path and you will need to turn the settings down for all games and currently has no wifi card

That build is $411 for me.I think it is because I turn off mail in rebates.

I have rebates on. And if you buy the case and hard drive used, like $10 each. You may also be able to find a 770, 680, or 580 used. With no upgradeability, also look into a 2600k system on eBay. With this price point, there cannot be an upgradeability beyond a processor in the same family (G4400 Pentium -> 6600k i5).

This budget is just to firm for buying only new parts and with the desired outcome.

I change the budget

At this budget you want to look at ebay and used PC's with an add on GPU. 

 

Even a 500$ PC will get you a 1050Ti and G4560 if you buy new let alone a 400$ budget. 

 

Really i'd look for a used I5 2400 PC and a 1050Ti maybe even a 1060 3GB card will fit into the budget.
