My budget for this pc is $600
I have a mouse and keyboard and an OS.
Here are the questions I have...
How will this computer do with demanding games?
Do I need a CPU cooler?
Do I need a better motherboard?
Is there anything I can do to greatly increase my pc but still stay around my budget?
How will this build be overall?
