Without Windows, this runs at $486 Canadian. With Windows, $601. If you already have a key then you'll be fine. Or, you could run on an inactivated version of Windows until you can afford a key.

You'll see good frame rates at 1080p. Better than a console!

The PSU included in the above build is pretty much a fire hazard tbh.
Also you're going to want to not include windows in that cost, not going to get great performance for the actual PC with only $400, that's what consoles are for at that price point. 😉
Save a bit more and get this, stomps a console well into the ground and dances on its grave.

Graphics are way batter on a good pc with a good video card. You can get a good GTX 750 for about 120 us dollars, it'll run almost any current game at max settings and resolution and it'll be a whole lot better both in tems of graphic quality and in terms of FPS.

 

[Chugalug_]

A 750 is extremely underpowered nowadays, it's old architecture and it gets beaten by literally everything available that has come out in the past 2 years, not sure why you would recommend it especially since a 1050 performs miles better for less...

I'm sorry but where I live I've never seen that, a 1050 for less than 750, that's a first for me.

lol, I meant a GTX 1050 for less than a GTX 750, here in Brazil a GTX 1050 2GB costs about the equivalent to 180 US dollars, while the GTX 750 ti costs about 120.

 

[Rafael Mestdag]

Actually, doing a little more research I was able to find a GTX 750 ti for about 155 US dollars, so you're right, save a little more and get a 1050 2GB for 180 USD.

 

[Chugalug_]

I was comparing the price you gave me for a 750ti assuming you valued it at $120 and comparing it to a $105 1050 in the US. My bad.
Never convert to USD, always mention in your local currency, gets confusing and its easier to use local prices.

The 1050 here is just a little more expensive than the 750ti, the difference is negligible.

@OP, if you want wifi without ethernet you need to get a wireless adapter.

That power supply seems a bit on the weak side for that video card.

 

[Chugalug_]

That system'll draw 300w max under gaming load, 430w is more than enough, and its made by Seasonic and based on their very good GB Bronze platform.

 

[lakimens]

It's Seasonic, it can't be bad.

 

[PCnoobmuch]

thats like 650 to much money. what about https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/VFNk7h

 

[Chugalug_]

Its 580? :C

 

[PCnoobmuch]

Its 580? :C

the 480 bottlenecks to much and would rather spend the money on a better PSU to save that money

 

[PCnoobmuch]

btw AMD recommends 500 watts for the 480
