Budget: $500
More specific use (what games, what programs): League, CSGO, and a little bit of streaming.
Planned time until purchase: ASAP
Do you need an Operating System?: No.
Do you have any specific preferred components?:No.
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: No.
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: No, unless it's worth it I guess?
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: No, unless you can find a decent monitor that fits the budget.
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 89408

I am gonna use my old PSU(Older 650w PSU, but it has the 6pins, that should be okay, right?) HDD, optical drive. Not sure if an SSD fits in the budget somehow? Let me know what my best option is!

This is what I came up with, if you can tell me where to cut costs and not lose performance, that would be awesome. :D

Also, I was checking this out and thinking about just not picking up the stuff I already listed that I'm gonna reuse.

quad core + 760 vid card (rapes the 750ti) and the whole thing is still under budget :)

don't need the 212 evo if not overclocking
don't need ssd and it's cheaper to upgrade that later

if you want the ssd now then

just my opinion. would wait for secksi or someone to give a build tho

e/ or do penguins for a ssd build. derped and clicked the wrong sized ssd :wallbash:
e2/ unless you want a bigger ssd i guess.
