$400-$430 gaming computer

[rostw]

Im looking for a new, powerful computer that I can use. It should be able to play games Like Planetside 2 on medium graphics very smoothly. I dont need a operating system, mouse, keyboard or moniter. If I could get a list of parts it would be great!

P.S.: at least 8gb of ram and upgradeble
Overclocking would be nice too.

Planetside 2 will be out on ps4 soon. Just letting you know.

Good luck with your build.

For high settings you need more than $400 build eg i5. Even Medium settings, I'd want a $500 version of MasterDell's build.

I made an adjustment to your build for him, he didnt ask for optical drive. So I added that money for a better cpu
