I am thinking of buying a gaming computer for the first time. I was wondering what the best gaming PC build would be for under $650. This does not include monitor, keyboard, mouse but, this does include an OS. I also live in the U.S.

This should pretty much handle any game you throw at it. The PSU is a little overkill but it's good for upgrading your GPU/CPU.

This PSU is trash. Stay away from RAIDMAX. They are the worst of the worst.
