You can get the same model hard drive, but in a 2TB size for $10 less (The link brought me to the 1.5TB model). The motherboard seems to have pretty poor reviews, with many complaints, just an FYI. I would not get that video card if you want to game, I'd go with the GTX 750 2GB model for just a bit more: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125510

Is there any reason you are buying most of these from Walmart's marketplace? It would be a lot easier if you buy them from just one or two companies, like Newegg and/or Amazon.

I won't go for APU for that budget. And i don't see the point having full tower.

Thanks

Thank you for your help and I was looking at the desktops and even though it's a bit smaller I'll go with the mid tower cause it can support slightly bigger graphic cards

I have reconsidered and I'll go with the 600$ build

Also looked into the one I listed and the reviews where mostly complaining about the bios not being up to date on it lol

You are probably going to be disappointed in the graphics card if you went with anything less than an R7 265

I've been using a 300$ low-mid end mini-tower intergrated graphics that won't even handle bf4 on low, I had to respec the game by creating a userconfig file and edit it that way

D3 I get 15-20 frames on low
League on low I get about the same as d3 at best average is 13 fps

So anything is an upgrade here even if it's on a different computer

I'll get the details about my current system later and post them or something

If you're going low end, at least buy an nvidia gtx 750ti, its cheap, its good, not much else to say

I will, but first, once I get off work (1am central), I'll post or make my signature of the computer I'm using now, which is the tiny 300$ one I was talking about in a earlier post, it's only about as tall as a Xbox 360 E but 5-8 inches longer, maybe a inch wider
