Well, it's not the worst I've seen, but you might be able to do better. I don't see a power supply listed. Do you already have a power supply or does that case come with one? If it does, I'd avoid it. Power supplies that come with cases are usually VERY low end and extremely low quality, most the time. Since Rosewill is a budget hardware manufacturer to begin with, and none of their PSUs aside from the Capstone series are really great, I expect their included models to be bottom of the barrel.

What kind of gaming and settings are you expecting to get? What resolution of monitor will you be using?

the case comes with a power supply I don't know how good it is I might try to find something better I might save up till I get 500$ to get get a better pc

 

[Darkbreeze]

That's a good idea. Depending on what you expect from the machine, you'll be much more satisfied with a 500 dollar unit than any 350 dollar one.

No. That motherboard and cpu aren't even compatible. The board is an AMD board and the CPU is an intel chip. Also, you don't want that Rosewill PSU. The only power supplies sold by Rosewill that are any good are their Capstone series. Even a Corsair CX series PSU would be better than that, and I don't usually recommend ANY power supplies made by Corsair because they're either inferior designs or the models they sell that ARE good are usually overpriced for what you could get from another brand.

Are you going to need an operating system and an optical dvd drive, or do you already have those covered?

 

[Milest982]

I got the os and dvd drive covered.
