Ok so since they announced the new Xbox One And Ps4 Im going to PC lol. Dont really know much about computers. I would like to play LoL, Dota, and Minecraft at like medium quality. And i will be streaming Xbox 360 till no one wants to watch anymore lol. The big problem is I can't really spend to much on it as i would like (live alone and have alot of bills, and bad job). So my budget isn't that big but whatever you guys say I'm gonna put it together. After i have it i would like to be able to upgrade as time goes by but have to be cheap for now. I have monitor but don't have windows 7 or anything.
Please Help
Thanks for reading and thanks for helping

P.S. i would be building it myself (with my brother)

$600, best I could do, bearing in mind this does include a $90 OS, so it's really $510, which is probably the best price you're gonna find.

With ease. You could even play the new games on medium, so you could most likely play those games on the highest settings. If you don't want to play any games other than the ones you have listed, then you could always dumb-down the GPU.

The only thing there you could really reduce is probably the graphics card, maybe to a 7770. Around $60 cheaper I believe? However it seems unwise to buy twice.

Nice spec - issue you're going to have with upgrading down the road is you will need to swap the power supply in order to upgrade your video card and when you upgrade the video card, your processor is going to become the bottleneck.

This will get you by in the interim though

I feel your pain - I had to scrounge together cash for a bit to build mine. I spent a little less than $800 and it's suited me well for this past year. I would recommend getting your money saved up to get to the top of the budget you feel comfortable spending and then reposting your thread. The pricing for components will inevitably change over a couple of months and we might be able to recommend a better rig for the same budget.

Maybe i might do that cause i thought about it dont really wanna buy something then have to re buy everything and that would only be like another 200-300$
