[Cubsfan15]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum so please excuse any mistakes. I'm interested in building my first pc for a good workstation and gaming. This is a budget pc and I don't want to go over $500 USD.

I've done research and I've think I've come up with a decent pc. Here's the list:

I have a few questions about this build:

1. Is this build decent for a workstation?
2. Can it run games like overwatch, battlefield 1, battlefront?
3. Is the motherboard (I'm most worried about that), cpu, and graphics card I chose good for what I will use it for?
4. Can all of this fit inside of the case?

If this build is awful let me know and please share another build (under $500). Hopefully you guys can share some of your knowledge. Thank you.

1- No it is not a good workstation , but it will render slow , good workstations are expensive ($1500)

2- it will run games at full HD resolution but not at max settings .

3- try one of those cases

This is very good case discounted 20$

Thank you I appreciate the response. What I meant by workstation was can I do basic schoolwork on it like writing papers. I'm only in high school just to give you an idea of what Imakes looking for.

Also I like that first case, the cooler Master. Thanks for your input Samer.

One more question- can I do media on this like YouTube, Netflix, and music?
