Hi. I'm looking to build a desktop in a 600$ budget range. Its going to be used mainly for light gaming, video streaming, and normal use. I want this pc to be able to be upgraded in the future, but also reliable and "greenish". I'm looking for a SSD just for a boot drive and maybe small programs. Also wireless Ethernet. I don't need a monitor, keyboard and mouse. I prefer colors to match but im not picky. Black case preferably. Not picky on CPU, but I am looking for a lower end graphics card for HD.
Thank you in advance!

Not as "green" as an i5 but not terrible either, it has an os as well.
