So I am planning on saving up for a computer, and I need your help. The budget is going to be $500 - $750. I will be earning the money by doing various things. My parents/grandparents might be able to pay for some of the parts. I would like you guys to pick out parts in that budget. Also give me suggestions too. One more thing, the case has to be the NZXT S340 or the NZXT S340 Elite. Color must be white. That's the only preference. Thanks!

You must provide more information - what are you going to use for, is it really hot or real cold where you live where are you planning on putting it (carpet or something) also what time frame are you thinking about building this (next day/week or possibly in a month or two)

you can find the s340 for $30 - that's what I got mine for - and even spending 60-70 on it it , if it would make the system better for the end user I think it is worth it

I am going to be using the PC for gaming, the games I will be playing are Battlefront II, Overwatch, PUBG, and Fortnite. Also I want the NZXT S340 because I like white cases. If you can suggest better white cases, I will take it. Also, I live in North New Jersey so right now its freezing in the winter but I have heat so its like around 70 degrees. I'm planning on putting the PC on a desk, and I have a wooden floor so yeah.
