[Build Complete] First Budget Gaming PC build

Sorry I don't have any pictures, parts list is below.

I built a low-budget gaming machine for my brother over cyber-week with some great deals. I think it's a pretty good machine considering the price. I wish it had a bit more CPU power, but other than that I'm really happy with it and it's his first gaming PC. I haven't gotten to test it with any games yet, so I can't speak to it's actual capabilities, but it should be able to reach the goal of 720p - 1080p @60fps in most of the titles he'd like to play (Overwatch, Fallout 4, Skyrim).

I also wanted to share this since a lot of the true budget machines I've seen use spare or used parts which is unfeasible for some if there's a lack of inventory in one's area. This used all new parts from retail locations. The only cheat is that I had a spare windows key to use from my days in school which reduces the price by a lot.

With all of the parts, one game and accessories, total price comes to just about $450. I was trying to reach some parity with this generation of consoles plus ~$50 for a subscription to XBLive. I think it's difficult to get a machine with retail parts for what you can now buy the Xbox or PS4 for, so again, I'm happy with what I was able to put together under the budget. Thanks for reading!
