[Danbuscus25]

this should play games on medium-high, depending on the game and resolution. it has a good mobo and psu, and you can add another gpu for crossfire later. btw, what is your budget?

350 watt is not enough . I think a minimum of 430 is best... but how's the build I made? And thanks for making one by the way

 

[Danbuscus25]

pretty good. it is $488 though, so is it a pre-built that is for sale?
