Hi, I'm looking for a $550 dollar gaming PC ($600 with os). I would prefer a nicer graphics card rather than a CPU, upgradeable, and with parts that will last a while. I would also prefer it to be smaller, but I can compromise. Any help would be much appreciated.
P.S. I would like to be able to play games like minecraft to battlefield 4

Getting an i3 now allows for you to upgrade to an i5, i7, or Xeon later
You can add 4GB more RAM at any time. It's easy and takes about 60sec.
You can add more storage if needed.
That's a tried and true case that has good cooling and a lot of room for more fans and hard drives.
