[SOLVED] I can make a pc! I can BUILD!

[anceintsz]

I am currently of short-end budget of $450 and have been scrupulating trying to come up with an even entry-level 1080p build. I need some help guys! It seems the prices are not good this quarter for me, or at least when I have been daydream building in my spare time the prices for things were lower! Need some honest help with creating a solid build that can fit a $450 budget and also last for a year please!

This is what I have! https://pcpartpicker.com/user/anceintsz/saved/xR3cYJ

I have a monitor, peripherals, storage, OS, just need the basics!

I like the build a lot! What if I needed to drop it down to $350 and cut it real close to the grain??

The 2200G isn't that good for 1080p gaming unless you want low settings at 30fps.

Also won't play the newest titles for crap.

I'd say the 2400G is your best option.

Here's a more budget friendly option that cuts down the ram and opts for more budget friendly options for other parts.

I would've done a 3400g as well but didn't cuz I was trying to keep it at $350 like I was asked lol. But it's definitely below the original $450 for sure.

And if still looking to Max out that $450 budget could do one of two things in that 3400g build.

Either go for 16gb of RAM, or add a 2TB HDD for more storage.

Last I checked the Barracuda compute 2tb with a 256mb cache is only like $50
