I can build a decent PC for $ 700 with my own monitor and getting Win 10 pro OEM.
Micro center if you are lucky enough to live near one can help you with compatibility etc.

Is this a question? Or a discussion? Or....neither?

I don't think it's much or a surprise here that you can build a fairly respectable rig for ~$700. Very few people actually need an i7. An i5 if the 'ideal' for most gamers, with an i3 frequently a worthwhile budget option.

>>I just did not wan to discourage some readers thinking they needed i7 etc. My comment was just saying,"You can do it for not as much money as you might think and never to compare themselves to anyone". - that's all. ;)
