Ok so since I'm not rich or very computer smart, I need help building a new desktop PC.

I need something cheaper in the 300-500 range, as far as the tower goes. If I can build something that can run Overwatch even cheaper than that, the better.

As I am low on cash, but need something since my laptop just took a shit on me.

I will definitely be upgrading everything piece by piece over time.

There's only a few main things I will be using it for.

A. Basic web surfing (facebook, youtube, iTunes, ect.)

B. Overwatch (so I can run it on high/ultra)

C. School (this pretty much goes along with basic web surfing)

So with that being said, I don't need anything super fancy.

The only thing I want it to do is run Overwatch on high/ultra settings, as it is the only game I play on PC at the moment.

I do play/hop on a few other games every once in a blue moon, such as diablo2/3, csgo, mtgo, osrs but nothing that takes much to run at all.

This is pretty much just as far as the tower goes, do need help on finding a monitor though.


Budget: 300-500
More specific use (what games, what programs): specifically used for Overwatch
Planned time until purchase: Within the next 2-3 months
Do you need an Operating System?: Yes
Do you have any specific preferred components?: Not exactly, just the best I can get for the cheapest.
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: Not sure? I usually use headphones. But would like to connect up some studio monitors in the future when I can afford them.
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: stock cooling
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: Yes, a monitor. But already have a good idea on what I want as far as keyboard/mouse goes.
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 30907
