I wasn t sure how to answer some questions because I don't know diddly squat when it comes to this area. Hopefully some of you are patient enough to help me out.
It's going to be used more as a mainstream desktop but I want it to be able to handle some game titles. (Not looking for a flashy liquid cooled gaming desktop to run everything maxed out)


Description: Gaming, Photoshop, Video Editing, Video Streaming

Budget: $300-$500
More specific use (what games, what programs): League of Legends and Runescape are really the only games I mess with, it would be cool to be able to play other titles efficiently (H.o.t.S, Smite, C.S, Day Z, Ark) but not if it's going to increase the cost drastically (i say efficient because i dont mind if the graphics aren't amazing as long as the game can run without lagging). Also will be using programs for game coding/programming such as 'Unity'
Will want to be able to stream youtube, twitch, ect.
Planned time until purchase: 06.10.16
Do you need an Operating System?: Idk
Do you have any specific preferred components?: No
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: Idk
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: Idk
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: Yes
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 56601

Budget: $300-$500
Maximum you will spend? - $575
Will you complete mail in rebates? - would like to avoid
Do you need Windows Operation System within budget? - I'm not entirely sure how I would do this on my own so I'm assuming yes
Need a Monitor? / Mouse? / Keyboard within budget? -
yes

Basic Info:
Specific Uses (Programs, game titles etc.) - Would like to be able to run titles like league, p.o.e, smite, day z while streaming YouTube and just browsing the internet without problems (like previously said im not worried about flashy graphics as much as performance, as long as everything runs efficient thats fine)
Will mostly be used for mainstream purposes but I would still like to be able to run some titles decently.
Will also be using for programming with engines like unity and programs like python, ect.

Country? - USA
How much hard drive space do you want or need? - bare minimum to meet request
Will you use wireless or wired internet? - wired
Will you overclock CPU and/or GPU? - I'm not sure what this is, if you could explain please.

None of this matters I'm just looking for the cheapest with decent performance.
