What country?
Could buy all the parts new for that price (if not for ridiculous PSU prices)
Did it come with a windows license?

 

[dthomas1266]

Yea it does, but will i be able to run some modern games with this build you think? i lowkey like the case too its real nice! lol

 

[tennis2]

Country? (Americans put the $ before the number, so I assume not USA)

Modern games at low-medium settings and 720p, yup. Depends on the game.

GTX1060 perhaps?
That's a decent 1080p card (the CPU will be the bottleneck then). If it's the 1050 (there's no 6GB GTX1050), then 720p.

Bit silly to buy the parts then immediately upgrade them. At 350 for the full system, it's not bad, especially if it's in a good case and with a good quality power supply. At 350 and another 150-200 to change the video card in a month not so much. The CPU matches the video card pretty well, if you start upgrading may as well just wait till you have the money for parts and build a new system for the 500-600 you will spend when upgrading.

What case?
What mobo?
What PSU?
Is it a GTX1060 or 1050?

Some of these items (Mobo, PSU, & GPU) are price place-holders, but you get the idea.

I agree with Hang-the-9 about the upgrades. Depending on how well you do parting out components you replace. Choose wisely.

Well like I said the parts are fine for the price, especially if they are good quality parts that cost more. The thing you need to keep in mind is that buying it and using it as is will get you the value you paid for it. Buying it with the idea of replacing parts right away is not a good use of the money, you may as well just start with the parts you want instead of buying a system then spending more money on faster parts.
