Build Advice Budget Build For Light Gaming & Home Office

[jobondur]

My 7 year old system has finally seemed to have bitten the dust. I'm looking for something that can be used for home office work and some light gaming, basically just playing fort nite with my kids. Aside from fort nite, the only thing it will have on it is MS Office. From a budget perspective, let's target $700 for now and see what that gets me. I don't need any peripherals and I have a Win 10 license I can put on this. I don't want any crazy lights in the case and I need a vertical tower with room to expand if I want to add a crazy graphics card in the future. The only thing I could safely scavenge from the old build is a DVD burner. Location is Virginia Beach, VA - so no Microcenter nearby. Looking to order parts in the next 3-5 days.

What are your recommendations? Thanks and happy Labor Day.

The next gen Intel Bartlett lake will still run on LGA 1700. But cant say for sure if Intel would enable support in the 600 series mobo.

Went for a better mobo and PSU to handle high end parts better:
