Hey guys,
This is my first post by the way, so if this is in the wrong category or something I apologize... So recently I became interested in computers when I took my family's old (2009) HP desktop and opened up the side panel. Everything just looked so interesting and I was intrigued. It isn't very good, though, and it can hardly run what are considered really simple games (Pentium CPU, 4 gb ddr2 ram, onboard graphics). So after doing some research on building PCs (which I really want to do), I basically got some information overload. There are so many brands and numbers and letters in the titles of parts and it's all just a bit overwhelming. This has gotten a little long-winded, so I'll try to tie things up. I want the best bang-for-your-buck gaming PC on the market right now. I'm on what some consider a tight budget, so my max is around $700, MAYBE $750 (including Windows). I want to be able to play games like Insurgency, Kerbal Space Program, Garry's Mod, Arma 2, maybe Arma 3, etc. I don't need it to be all maxed out, so I can turn down the graphics as long as I get around 60 fps (30 is playable for me). Thanks in advance for anyone who decides to help me. If you don't mind, I find those PC Part Picker lists to be very helpful for me. Thanks again
Edit: I already have a DVD drive from my old computer, so unless it isn't reusable for whatever reason, I wouldn't need a new one. And I know there are already tons of threads out there about this topic, but I figured some people probably enjoy putting together budget builds.
Edit... Again: I think it would be kind of important to tell you that I am from the US.
