[SOLVED] 365$ budget gaming rig

[xmasholiday]

So I currently have a i5 3570 rig with a gtx 970 and a corsair 750 watt psu with 8gb of ddr3 ram anyways im gonna keep the corsair PSU and the gtx 970 im gonna be adding to my new rig to reduce cost and ive been searching and searching the web for the best rig I could possibly get and ive found a i5 8400 six core rig with 16gb of ddr4 ram and a 250GB SSD is the system im more than likely buying from ebay used/refurbished with warranty but if anyone here think they could come up with or find a better rig/system for my 365$ price range that would be cool I gotta buddy if mine told me to look at the xeon processors which i did but i found them a little confusing but im buying my new rig in a week so til then if anyone has any other options they think would be better please stop by and let me know thanks.

Not a bad build above. You might also reformat your current hard drive to hook up as a secondary drive to keep your games/files on. If not, maybe consider at some point picking up a 1 or 2tb drive later.
