Looking for either a pre-made or the best possible pc for 500 to 600 dollars

I don't mind building it but I need windows, tower and all components for under 600

No monitor or keyboard or mouse just the tower

I've never actually used or seen a microatx build

Are their any disadvantages to this? I like the build the only cons I can see is the processor and I know she wants a white case with blue led but I'm not worried about that I can change all that

If I upped the budget to 700 dollars what kind of processor would u throw in it

I would upgrade the i3-6100 to a i5-6500.
would be a bit under 700$ totalt included a win10.

Well the only downside with a m-atx board compared to an regular ATX is how many expansion slots it can offer.
But for regular use its enough.

The handicap with this budget card tho. Is its a lower end chipset. means you can only have 2x RAM slots upto 32gb ram. It doesn't offer Raid, SLI or overclock.
You can't sli a gtx 1060 anways
The cpu in the build can't be overclocked on the multipler.
Raid, well only in cases where you got multiple SSD/HDDs with the same specs.

Sadly that cases doesn't come in white. I could recommend something like the nzxt s340 if you wanna go white.

I'm a bit ignorant in anything past basic knowledge of building a pc lol

For these games and as a basic entry pc to get my wife into gaming it won't need 16 gigs of ram or raid or sli? I don't really know what raid or sli does

I'll upgrade the processor and thank you for the other case option

Its not a K model cpu so it will have a intel stock cpu cooler with it. It's usable on a budget.

Hdd depends if she's gonna store movies and lots of high resolution pictures.
Os+programs is about 50gb, the games on your list about 60gb. Which means she has about 130gb of space for more games. You can always add an hdd if needed.
