Never built a pc before.

My laptop is dead and I want to have something I can play games on (mostly league of Legends but I would also probably get the new Witcher and others in the future)


Looking to spend around 550 more if it would really make a difference.

I think this case would be fine, lmk

Will donate some fg for help, I think I would be good with assembling the whole thing but might not be 100% on setting up the software to get it going. (I have installed Windows before)

Youll need 40 dollars in rebates to make the budget fit, if you need help with rebates lmk, I've done a lot.

Wow thanks, that was quick. I just thought that case looked pretty solid and had a lot of positive reviews if you know of a better one at the price it would be good. Looks good and I have an Amazon gift card so... Works.

I'll look at it more later when not on my phone and let you know if I need any more help, thank you

As long as a case is big enough to fit your components, you can just about choose any one you like the looks of :)

This is the case I would have chosen for you if you hadn't suggested that one.

the only issue is that it has a 20 dollar rebate to make it 50, which some may consider a deal breaker.

Found the video card cheaper on Amazon? Am I missing something?

Good catch... I copied pasted the name to read about it, did not notice the difference when it came up

Just realized that I won't be putting this close to the router.

What's a good wireless network adapter? I see some really cheap ones

Let's say keep it around 40 or less, I have a really strong dual band router, linksys.

Thank you for the help
