Hello! I'm looking to buy a prebuilt PC for gaming and possibly recording. Notice, I can't build one because my parents won't let me. (I find it stupid too, I had a really good build picked out, but what can I do ?) Any ways, I want this computer to be able to play games like Battlefront, CS:GO (mainly), G-Mod and probably other small games. The PC (in my opinion) is actually pretty good. It usually has some sort of sale or combo. I missed the sale and the combo, which had an SSD and was priced at 700$ (the normal price is 800$) but it's fine. Right now it's priced at 750$. Enough blubber, here's the build.
•-😛C SPECS:-•
Processor: i5- 6600k @3.50 gHz
Motherboard: MSI B150M Pro-D
RAM: 8GB DDR4 2133
Storage: 1TB of space
GPU (Graphics Card): Nvdia GeForce GTX 950 2GB
Case: Source 210 Blue
PSU: 400W of some sort (I really have no clue)
OS: Windows 10
Other: It also comes with iBuypowers keyboard and mouse.

Overall, the price is at 750$ right now. If you want to look at the computer, the link is here:

It is currently out of stock, but it should be back soon.
Thanks!

Much better quality, all around, and you get a nice white theme and a R9 380. Guess you don't want the iBUYPOWER then.

You won me there. What kind of games can this PC run with at least 60 fps?

Could you possibly give me a build with a white and blue design for around 650$? My friend wants a build, and he is a little cheaper.

Probably competitive games like LoL or CS GO. The R9 380 doesn't give enough FPS (only 40 or so) in AC:Syndicate, Battlefield 4, and Shadow of Mordor. You're getting a mid-range rig at this price.

However, cheaping out on a PSU could literally kill all the other expensive parts.
Don't do that.

Buy a good one.
