My roomate and I, new freshman at college, are sick and tired of playing games on 13 inch macbooks so we scraped together around 400 dollars to get ourselves a PC that is capable of playing games relatively well. To get the maximum performance for our money, we decided to go the used route. What do you think of this build so far?

Thats an amazing PC for $400, but like Geekwad said, thats not a very good PSU for it. I would go with this PSU:

Otherwise, yeah. Thats the best $400 build i've seen. xD
